Pyramid Oil: Small Stock, Big Growth.......
Joshua Hayes

A stock that has been making me a lot of money recently and is a stock you should be watching is a small stock not many know about. Pyramid Oil Company (PDO) is engaged in the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas primarily in California.

When I go long stocks, I demand major growth, and I have that here. However, this is not the most safe position. Making sure that your style matches this style is very important before going long this gem.

Growth is the most important thing for me as EPS and sales growth have proven to be the major driver behind the best stocks ever. When it comes to EPS and sales growth, PDO has it covered. EPS growth has been 89%, over 999%, and over 999% the past three quarters. Sales growth has been 1%, 49%, 61%, and 92% the past four quarters.

This growth gives it a steady EPS growth rate of 39% with a P/E ratio of 29, which is in the mid range of the 3-50 zone of the P/E level the past five years. However, P/E ratio has never proven to correlate to history's biggest winners. EPS and sales growth have proven to be more important.

Other areas that light up a major interest for me about this stock is that management still owns 63% of the shares outstanding, which means that they are still highly invested in this company and expect higher growth. Even though there is only one mutual fund involved in the stock currently, I am sure that as the growth continues to increase we will see a lot more funds get involved in this high quality stocks.

The ratings in IBD are incredible with a 97 EPS rating, 99 group RS rating, a 99 RS rating, an A for SMR (sales, profit margins, and return on equity), an A for accumulation/distribution, a 99 for composite rating, and an A for timeliness rating. It simply doesn't get any better than that.

I already have a 98% gain in the stock from my first purchase, but I do want to buy more of this stock and will pick up more if it can either create a base lasting five weeks and then break out on huge volume, or if it can pull back to the 50 day moving average and then bounce on strong volume.

Even though I use technical analysis to make my actual purchases, you are more than welcome to tackle the stock any way you like. I am just bringing to your attention a potential future monster stock. Fundamentals account for 80% of the reason for me to go long a stock, but I have found technicals are best for me when deciding to actually take the trade.

Pyramid Oil Company Reports 154% Increase in Second Quarter Net Income on 91% Increase in Q2 Revenue
Wednesday August 13, 9:00 am ET


Construction on Texas Gas Sales Line Complete


BAKERSFIELD, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 13, 2008 -- Pyramid Oil Company (PDO - News) today announced financial results for its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2008.


Second quarter revenue increased 91% to $2.1 million from $1.1 million in last year's second quarter. Approximately 93% of the increase resulted from higher oil and gas prices, which increased by approximately $57.19 per equivalent barrel of oil versus last year's second quarter. Operating income increased by 226% to $1.2 million versus $362,000 in the second quarter a year ago. Net income improved by 154% to $908,000, or $0.24 per diluted share ($0.19 per diluted share after a 5-for-4 stock split that became effective July 7, 2008) from $357,000, or $0.10 per diluted share ($0.08 per diluted share, post split) in the second quarter last year.

Through six months, Pyramid reported revenue of $3.7 million, up 92% versus revenue of $1.9 million in the same period a year ago. Operating income increased 372% to $1.9 million from $406,000 in the six-month period last year. Net income increased 320% to $1.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share ($0.37 per diluted share, post split) from $415,000, or $0.11 per diluted share ($0.09 per diluted share, post split) in the 2007 six-month period.

John Alexander, president and CEO, said, "Our strong second quarter performance helped fuel solid cash flow from operations, which through six months had increased 183% to $1.7 million versus the comparable period last year. We expect to elevate our oil and gas production rates during the second half of the year, and are therefore optimistic about our prospects for continued strong top- and bottom-line financial results."

Mr. Alexander said construction and hook up of a gas sales line at the Company's Texas natural gas joint venture was completed during the first week in August, and the well is scheduled to commence production in the coming days. A gas sales contract is in place, and the operator has plans for additional near-term drilling on the joint venture's 5,700-acre lease area in south-central Texas. Post-frac testing on the initial well indicated natural gas rates of more than 4 million cubic feet per day. Pyramid owns a gross 12.5% working interest (before payout) in the prospect.

Pyramid remained active in its Carneros Creek field in California, where it has been conducting enhancement efforts on several existing wells, and also has been executing a developmental drilling program. The Company is currently waiting on a drilling rig, which it will use on its Anderson property to penetrate the point-of-rocks formation at a depth of approximately 3,100 feet. Drilling is expected to commence late in the third quarter.

Cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2008, were $2.9 million, up from $2.1 million at December 31, 2007. Working capital at the end of the second quarter improved to $3.4 million from $2.3 million at the end of fiscal 2007. Stockholders' equity increased to $8.4 million from $6.6 million at the end of fiscal 2007.
