Enterra Energy Trust (ENT)

An interesting special situation is a Canadian royalty trust, Enterra (ENT). It has sold off from over $20 a few years to around $1 earlier this year but has rallied sharply recently to $4.50. Previous management with conflicts of interest has been replaced, and assets sold to pay down debt. Remaining debt is expected to be restructured by 2Q/2008, with possible resumption of dividends by year end. 1Q report was very good with FFO up over 30%, and 2Q should be even better, given the rally in energy prices.

Book value is around $3.75, with most Canroys trading a 2-3x book ENT could trade at around $7-$10 by year end.
