BALANCE SHEET
TNK’s balance sheet is not strong. Teekay Tanker’s balance sheet has been shrinking for the past two quarters. It will continue to erode as earnings decrease.
Book value per share: $8.06
Price to book value ratio: 0.60 (good)
Current ratio: 1.57 (over 2.0 is good)
Quick ratio: 0.60 (over 1.0 is good)
CONCLUSION
Teekay Tankers has been cutting its dividend instead of growing it. Its earning power is diminishing. The third quarter’s disappoint results continue the earnings trend down below zero into losses. And its balance sheet is eroding. Don’t even consider buying until the stock price drops to the $2.00 to $3.00 range. Oh yeah, and there is a huge tanker ship glut from the boom times that ended in 2007.
