I'll bet you've never heard of Tom Haywood... Back in the 1930s, he invented a self-kicking machine – consisting of a hand-operated crank connected by a belt and pulleys to a wheel, which had four spokes with a shoe attached to each spoke. For a swift kick in the rear, the operator would bend over and turn the crank.
I love the idea of a Manipulator score, but I also like to consider Executive confidence & competence.
When I look at a company like GPOR, I see insiders not holding hardly any stock and selling a substantial amount of that over the last 3 months.
I also see big investors whittling down their holdings (Silverpoint Capital down about 20% in 3 months and last chunk sold at $118, Now:$116.)
For a company that was BK in 2021, it doesn't inspire confidence.
Yet, I don't have a quick, easy way to screen for earnings manipulation.
And another nice screen would be for Analyst Manipulation:
KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Tim Rezvan upgraded Gulfport Energy stock to Overweight and set a $145 price target in early August.
Could Keybanc have some tie with GPOR?
Silverpoint does, they still hold 1.7M shares they bought out of the 2021 bankruptcy and may have an incentive to hold these as they are convertible to Prefered.
It doesn't trigger certain fundamental screens but has a horrible m-score (99%), tho as bad as it is for some reason not to trigger a "manipulator flag." Doesn't mean it's not bad. Interesting!!!! Feel free to DM me.
