On Sunday evening, Benzinga asked its followers on Twitter what they’re buying at the open on Monday. From the replies Benzinga selected one ticker for technical analysis.
$TEVE TRADE$ (@charspop28) is buying Camber Energy, Inc (NYSE:CEI).
The diversified energy company is not in compliance with the NYSE American LLC's listing standards and risks delisting on May 20 if Camber Energy is unable to file a number of outstanding financial reports.
The Exchange originally gave Camber Energy until April 1 to file its Form 10-K for the nine-month transition period ended Dec. 31, 2020; form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021; form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021; and form 10-Q for the period ended Sept. 30, 2021.
Camber Energy was unable to meet that deadline, but was granted a seven-week extension.
On May 1, Camber Energy posted a video to Twitter where CEO James Doris addressed the company’s delayed financial reports. “If you’re prepared to accept the pat on the back when you do a good job, you’ve got to be prepared to take it on the chin when you screw up,” he said, speaking of the missed timelines he had previously given for the filings to be complete.
Doris attributed the delinquency to the time-consuming process of the financial results being reviewed, updated, amended and audited, for which he faulted Camber Energy’s accounting firms.
“I’ll take it on the chin now but later it’s going to be someone else’s turn,” he said.
The future of Camber Energy’s stock is dependent on its financial results being filed with the NYSE, and until that occurs, the stock may continue to experience sideways trading as both bulls and bears consider the high risk of taking a position in the company.
