HNRC
HAS
A
STRONG
DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO OF LESS
THAN 2%
HOUSTON,
TX -- August 5, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Houston Natural
Resources Corp. (OTC:
HNRC) ("HNR or the Company") has a strong balance
sheet to continue its
aggressive growth in 2021
with
a debt-
to-equity ratio of less than 2%.
The oil
industry has
about a
40% debt-to-capital threshold. Above that level, debt costs
increase considerably. The company has been
able to use its low debt ratio to acquire equipment and is now well
positioned to make future acquisitions.
According to
Investopedia… "Investors in
the oil
and gas industry
should keep an eye on the debt levels on the balance sheet. It is
such a capital-intensive industry
that high levels of debt can put a strain on a
company's credit
ratings, weakening its
ability to purchase new equipment or finance other capital
projects. Poor credit
ratings can
also harm its ability to acquire new businesses."
In
addition, Investopedia
states…
"Debt, when used
properly, can increase shareholder returns. Having too much debt,
however, leaves firms vulnerable to economic downturns
and interest
rate hikes.
Too much debt can also increase the perceived risk with the
business and discourage investors from investing more
capital."
The Company's net
asset value is $4.71 per
share for the period ending March
31, 2021.
In addition, the
Company's subsidiary Houston Natural Resources, Inc ("HNRI") has
independently appraised value of $69,000,000 in
proven reserves that are valued at $4.47 per
share. HNR Oil Services LLC,
has independently appraised value of $7,600,000 in
equipment and permits that are valued a $0.49 per
share.
The company currently
has a total
of $9.67 per
share in assets. The Company intends
to focus on realizing the value on
the
total
of $9.67 per
share in assets held by its subsidiaries for the benefit of the
shareholders. The strategy may include asset sales, a
spin-off of one or more of
its subsidiaries and dividends to shareholders.
According to industry
research, the S&P 500 Integrated Oil & Gas Index, forward
earnings, & valuation, as of August
4, 2021, is between 8x and
14x forward earnings. This would imply a target value for HNRC
of $6.16 per
share and $10.78 per
share based on its
projected earning.

is a
diversified holding company that
