Sable Offshore tumbles after going-concern warning tied to crude sales disruption

Sable Offshore Corp. (SOC) is down 46.6% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The sharp selloff appears to be driven mainly by Sable’s new going-concern warning, which signaled that liquidity has become strained after its main crude buyer curtailed purchases in October. While third-quarter revenue and sales volumes improved from the prior quarter, investors seem focused on the company’s near-term funding risk and uncertainty around when normal sales will fully resume.

Details:

Sable disclosed in its third-quarter filing that management sees substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year because operating cash flow may not be enough to cover expenses and debt service.

The pressure followed an early-October halt in purchases by Sable’s sole downstream crude purchaser, which forced the company to reduce production and manage rising crude inventories.

The company said it started selling barrels to three additional Los Angeles-area refineries in early November, but those new outlets have not yet fully replaced the interrupted volumes.

Sable also ended the quarter with a much higher share count after using its at-the-market program during the quarter, which may have added to investor sensitivity around future financing needs and dilution risk.
