This summary was created by AI, based on 43 opinions in the last 12 months.
Reviews from various experts indicate a mixed sentiment regarding Arc Resources Ltd. The stock finds itself in a challenging position due to issues surrounding its Attachie project and the overall volatility in natural gas prices. While some analysts maintain a long-term positive outlook, emphasizing its quality assets and potential for growth driven by LNG exports, others advise caution, pointing out production cuts and a lack of immediate upside. The impending acquisition by Shell has added a layer of uncertainty, with opinions split between selling now or holding until the deal closes. Despite the challenges, many experts appreciate the management's efforts in maintaining a solid balance sheet and its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.
ARX vs VET ARX holds super high quality liquids assets in the Montney formation. VET has a more diversified production slate including Australia and the Netherlands as well as Canada. The US has shut in 1.4 million barrels a day, this has reduced associated natural gas production. This will tighten the natural gas markets making it much more bullish. This is helpful for ARX, more so. He has not been a huge supporter of the VET management team and is less bullish on European natural gas markets (where VET is more active). ARX also provides a better dividend stream.
(A Top Pick Mar 20/19, Down 67%) This one hurts. It's higher risk/reward vs. Suncor, but they are lowering their dividend and capital program. He'd rather they completely remove the dividend.
He wouldn't buy this. He bought it three years ago, thinking it was the top natural gas producer, but nat gas didn't enjoy great demand. It will need that LNG terminal to be built on the west coast. This market will be oversupplied for 4-5 years. Arc is best of breed, though.
