Chesapeake Energy Corp. shares (CHK) surged 7% in premarket trade Thursday, after the company topped earnings estimates for the fourth quarter. Chesapeake said it had net income of $309 million, or 33 cents a share, in the quarter, after a loss of $740 million, or 83 cents a share, in the year-earlier period. Adjusted per-share earnings came to 30 cents, ahead of the FactSet consensus of 24 cents. Revenue rose to $1.258 billion from $678 million, and were also ahead of the FactSet consensus of $1.251 billion. Chief Executive Doug Lawler said the company made significant progress in reducing debt in 2017, increasing cash flow and boosting margins. "We further demonstrated the depth of our portfolio by closing on approximately $1.3 billion in asset and property sales and signed additional asset sales for approximately $575 million that we expect to close by the end of the 2018 second quarter," he said. Shares are down 56% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 14%.



Am I reading that wrong or are their "profits" last quarter from selling off their assets?

I had a limit buy in and cancelled it a couple days ago.



I still think they have an uphill battle ahead of them.

Have incredible assets in several basins but are up to their necks in debt. Asset sales can’t even fix their balance sheet. However as long as prices keeps running and don’t crash again they will continue to chug along.

This stock is up 50% over the last month.

Is this a sign of life or a dead cat bounce?
