EGY - NYSE - ENERGY - Independent Oil & Gas Vaalco Energy Inc	$7.18	+0.21 3.01%	$7.32	$7.05	1.84%	1,130,135 106.32%	1,063,000
Most Recent Note for EGY - 4/1/2024 12:57:01 PM Perched at its 52-week high with today's gap up. Held its ground stubbornly following 9 consecutive volume-driven gains approaching its Jun '22 high ($8.77). For the Dec '23 quarter it reported earnings +95% on +55% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Erratic quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history is a concern. Low priced stocks are riskier choices which the investment system guidelines say should be avoided unless all key criteria are soundly satisfied.
