Market Seems to like Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) Purchase
Trader Mark (June 5th, 2008) Writes:
I don't see why all the hoopla - it seems like a relatively minor purchase at $600M but the market is loving it, pushing Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) up nearly 9%.Cabot Oil & Gas Corp (COG) said on Wednesday it has agreed to pay $602.8 million for producing properties, leasehold acreage and a gathering infrastructure from a private party in East Texas. The acquired acreage lies near Cabot Oil's existing property and will enhance its development of the Pettet, Travis Peak and Cotton Valley formations, the company said. The tract includes 25,000 gross acres in the Minden area of East Texas. The company said it will finance the deal through a combination of debt and common equity. I continue to not own enough of this name...Long Cabot Oil & Gas in fund; no personal position...
