This summary was created by AI, based on 39 opinions in the last 12 months.

Arc Resources Ltd (ARX) is currently involved in a takeover by Shell, which has led to varied opinions among experts about whether to hold or sell the stock. Many analysts believe that, with the deal price already being met, there is little incentive to hold ARX shares unless investors are interested in receiving Shell shares, which may offer better tax efficiency. Some experts are confident that the deal will close successfully, while others see the stock simply oscillating until the merger is finalized. Furthermore, advisory opinions emphasize that potential buyers should consider larger Canadian energy stocks or ETFs for similar exposure. With some analysts highlighting ARX’s long-term potential in natural gas and its quality assets, the overall sentiment is a mix of caution and optimism about future growth.

BUY

One of the cheapest stocks out there. Trading at 2.7x vs. peers at 3.9x. Decent production growth, good cashflow per share growth, excellent balance sheet. Canadian oil patch got oversold to oblivion, so this is still a buy. Be careful if there's a downdraft in the price of oil.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 09/21, Up 94%) Case of market incorrectly pricing stock. Financially strong, and well managed company that has been able to take advantage of depressed market. Still believes stock price is attractive to buy at. Riding tail winds of strong energy prices.

BUY

Currently trading at ~2.5x cash flow & 25% cash flow yield ($100 oil). At current pricing, company could privatize in ~ 3 years 20 years of inventory. Stock at reasonable trading multiples should be trading at ~$34/share. Concerns that company will be bought a rock bottom price, before shareholders rewarded.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly With the recent tragic events in Ukraine, the importance of energy self security has never been more important, so we reiterate ARX as a TOP PICK. It trades at 12x earnings, compared to peers at 15x. It pays a small dividend backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $11) to $12, looking to achieve $19 — over 22% upside potential. Yield 1.89% (Analysts’ price target is $18.66)

BUY

Benefitting from commodity cycle. Great recovery so far, but these stocks are still relatively inexpensive. He owns ARX, but WCP could easily have been a comparable. Enthusiasm for energy is just starting. Anticipates an easy 50% out of these Canadian mid-cap producers.

TOP PICK

Room to run in energy producers. Trades at a discount to NAV of $20-21. Incredible for a $14 stock. Nat gas looks tighter for longer. With the money ARX will make, the market will push up the price at some point. Yield is 2.78% (Analysts’ price target is $19.12)

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. They benefit from improving oil prices. The company has demonstrated strong torque on increasing free cashflow and balance sheet. Debt is reasonable and they are reinvesting into property and equipment. The multiple is cheap at 2.1x forward sales, 8x forward PE. Still lots of room left to run. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 09/21, Up 90%) Is holding on. At current oil prices, this is a cash-flow machine. They are expanding operations in the coming year. He's very bullish oil companies. Supply is constrained and investment in recent years in oil has fallen off, so those oil companies operating will benefit from high oil prices. Pays a 2.7% yield.

TOP PICK

Believes company is the largest misprice of any Canadian energy stock (undervalued). Currently trading at ~2x cash flow and has a free cash flow yield of 24%. Company buying back stock and paying down debt. Committing 80% of free cash flow to stock buy backs. 20 years of long life assets. Strong management team.

HOLD

Long term hold. He's positive on western Canadian natural gas, because of fundamental demand and LNG Canada. LNG is a game-changer for the whole western Canadian nat gas market. Well positioned. Well run. ESG focus, which is getting more important.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 07/21, Up 98.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with ARX is progressing well. We now recommend trailing the stop up (from $9.50) to $11.00.

COMMENT

Likes stock as is a strong company. Position in Montney formation is great. Generating free cash flow with a strong balance sheet. Along with Tourmaline is a premiere Canadian natural gas company. Dividend payout and stock buyback should start to occur.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

High quality assets. The stock is trading at 2.4x cash flow. 27% cashflow yield. Actively buying back stocks. So far, it is not getting recognition. It is not the balance sheet, not the ability to return. Management is selling the story. Does not understand why it is not going up.

BUY

Top tier producer, great assets, good management, fairly priced when he bought it. Nat gas market is very tight, so the outlook is still great.

TOP PICK

High quality asset base that is trading at 2.3x enterprise value to cashflow at $70 oil. Doing everything right. Potentially a 12% free cashflow yield. Could see over 100% upside at $70 and $80 oil. An ESG leader. (Analysts’ price target is $17.57)
