Sabine Royalty Trust owns land plots with oil and natural gas fields in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. SBR obtains royalties from companies that extract hydrocarbons on its lands. The Company was founded on December 31, 1982, and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Its business is not geographically diversified: 100% of revenue is generated in the United States. In our opinion, Sabine Royalty Trust shares have growth potential for several reasons:
Rising Oil and Natural Gas Prices. Oil prices fell in the second half of spring and are now 10% below their local highs seen in April. We expect a deficit in the global oil market and price increases in July-August due to high seasonal demand for oil products. A significant factor will be the decision of OPEC+ countries to extend voluntary production cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) until the end of the third quarter, despite OPEC forecasting oil demand growth of 1.2 million bpd in Q3 2024.
In contrast to oil, natural gas prices have shown a recovery, reaching $3 per mmBtu in June, and were 23% above last year's level at the market close on June 14. Natural gas prices could rise to $3.5 per mmBTU (up 20% from current levels) during the summer months. Rising average daily temperatures increase natural gas demand from power stations. According to the updated forecast, the US Department of Energy expects natural gas demand from power stations to rise by 16% m/m and 21% m/m to 38.7 and 46.8 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in June and July, respectively.
High Dividend Yield. Sabine Royalty Trust pays dividends every month. In June, the dividend was $0.538 per share. The yield to the current stock price is 10.2% per annum. In our opinion, the proximity of the ex-dividend date (mid-July) may prompt a rally in SBR stocks. Besides, the Company boasts zero debt, which means that it is financially stable and can afford to allocate most of its earnings to dividends.
The target price for SBR shares is $68.9, the rating is Buy. We recommend setting a stop-loss order at $58.9 per share.
