NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Magnum Hunter Resources(MHR) , an independent oil and gas company, has seen its stock fall by over 45% since January to around $4 a share due, in part, to concerns about the company's liquidity. But this could be a buying opportunity for patient investors.
Magnum Hunter plans to spend $400 million in capital expenditures this year, a large amount for a company with a market capitalization of less than $1 billion and debt levels that by one metric were 16 times greater than the industry's average.
