Halcon Resources Corp (HK): Tyrus Capital Makes Huge Purchase

According to a new 13G filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Tony Chedraoui‘s Tyrus Capital has acquired around 7.82 million shares of Halcon Resources Corp (NYSE:HK), raising its stake to 9.26 million shares, which amass 9.93% of the stock’s float. Previously, the fund’s stake consisted of 1.44 million shares, as per its 13F filing for the reporting period of June 30.

Halcon Resources is an energy company that holds, acquires, explores and develops onshore liquids-rich oil and natural gas assets. Year-to-date, the company’s stock is up by 517.46%. For the second quarter of 2016, Halcon Resources disclosed a loss per share of $3.17, greatly missing the estimates of earnings per share of $0.10, while its revenue of $106.1 million was also well below the estimates of $167.8 million. Earlier this month, Capital One Financial upgraded its rating on Halcon Resource’s stock to ‘Equal Weight’ from ‘Underweight’, while Wunderlich boosted its price target on the stock to $12 from just $1, and has a ‘Hold’ rating on it.
