The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, March 5, edition that RBC Capital analyst Keith Mackey has reaffirmed his "outperform" recommendation for Ensign Energy Services. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Mackey gave his share target a 25-cent boost to $4. Analysts on average target the shares at $3.71. Mr. Mackey says in a note: "Ensign's 4Q23 adjusted EBITDA was 7 per cent ahead of consensus. ... On the conference call, Ensign reiterated its focus on debt reduction, which the market may be beginning to appreciate given Friday's strong share price reaction [up 13.4 per cent]. We have modestly raised our FY24/25 EBITDA (up 2 per cent/up 1 per cent) estimates on improved margins."
