We are revisiting our overall industry outlook for proppant suppliers after U.S. Silica’s announcement June 14 that it will soon begin construction on a new frac sand mine in West Texas. This revised outlook results in a lower forecast for midcycle 2020 Northern White mine-gate pricing from about $36.50 to $35.00 per ton. This lower pricing forecast results in lower fair value estimates for three of our covered proppant companies.
