Enerflex Ltd. Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Rhea-AI Summary

Enerflex (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) has announced Board approval to implement a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB), allowing the company to repurchase up to 5% of its public float over twelve months through the TSX, alternative Canadian trading systems, or NYSE.

The announcement follows two key shareholder-focused initiatives:

• A previously announced 50% increase in quarterly dividend
• The planned implementation of the NCIB share buyback program

According to Interim CEO Preet Dhindsa, these moves are possible as Enerflex is now operating within its target leverage range. The company believes the current market price of its common shares doesn't fully reflect their underlying value and considers the repurchase program an effective use of cash resources. The NCIB implementation is subject to TSX approval, with further details pending.

Positive
