Oreninc Index Update: March 6, 2014

Oreninc Index Strong During PDAC Week

The Oreninc Index showed strength for the week ending March 6, 2014. Total dollars announced rose to $298.9m, its highest level in almost two years. Brokered and bought dollars announced also had stellar weeks, announcing $248.9m and $213.6m respectively. This was a standout week. In addition to one large deal, some impressive mid-range financings increased the weekly state of the market, a rarity in the last year. While this week’s performance is likely due to companies wanting to announce their deals during the week of the PDAC, the fact that management feels they can raise this much cash gives us some optimism as we head into Spring.

Oreninc Index Update: February 27, 2014

Oreninc Index Remains Steady

The Oreninc Index increased slightly for the week ending February 27, 2014. Total dollars announced rose to $176.7m, a two-week high. Seven brokered deals were announced for $89.3m, one of them bought for $70.2m. Average deal size dropped to $4.2m, a two-week low. Deals announced rose to 42, a nine-week high. The increase in number of deals is likely due to the approach of the PDAC International Convention. Though it was only a small increase, seeing the Index improve is a positive step in the right direction.

Oreninc Index Update: February 20, 2014

Oreninc Index Jumps

The Oreninc Index jumped back up for the week ending February 20, 2014. Total dollars announced rose to $218.9m, a three-week high. Brokered deals announced also increased to $45m off of four deals, two of them were bought for a combined $30m, both three-week highs. Though these are optimistic numbers, the amount of brokered activity relative to the total amount announced remained low, which held it back from being a stand-out week. Don't be surprised if this relative health lingers as we head into March and the PDAC International Convention.

The Oreninc Index fell for the week ending February 13, 2014. Total dollars announced fell to $27m on 19 deals, a five-week low. Brokered and bought dollars were both down, with one deal at $10.8m announced, also a five-week low. After three strong weeks beginning in mid-January, the Oreninc Index fell last week to modest levels and continued to fall even further this week. While this drop in performance is disappointing after a string of encouraging weeks, there is still room for optimism as we approach the PDAC.
