Arc Resources Ltd (ARX-T) has garnered a mixed set of opinions from various experts, particularly in light of its recent acquisition by Shell. While some experts highlight the certainty of the deal and the potential for dividends, others express skepticism about the stock's upside and recommend selling or reallocating funds to other energy investments. The ongoing issues with the Attachie project seem to weigh on the company's outlook, especially against the backdrop of fluctuating natural gas prices. Despite this, several reviews point to the firm's strong cash flow generation, solid balance sheet, and promising long-term potential due to the underlying quality of its assets, particularly in natural gas. The consensus leans towards caution before the deal closes, urging investors to weigh their tax situations and consider future market dynamics.

Market Outlook TOU-T is planning to spin off some of their infrastructure into a royalty like offering, while retaining 80% of the value.

The assets they are effectively selling are being valued at 9 times cash flow within the offering.

ARX-T has a similar 20% of its company in similar infrastructure. Once we get past the upcoming Federal election things should move forward. What a party says on the campaign trail and what happens in reality can be two very different things. The Liberals appear to support the TMX pipeline project in reality and it will ultimately get built, he says. 11% of our GDP in Canada comes from the energy sector.
Good energy dividend payers? For a five year time period, there are a few 9% dividend payers which are safe, he thinks. He would suggest ARX-T (11% yield), WCP-T, and TOG-T (each yielding around 9%). He thinks the dividends are safe to $50 WTI. These stocks are just so undervalued and have enormous upside if investment comes back.
The debt is 21%, but down from last December. He would recommend buying it on weakness. They have the gas for LNG approved projects in Canada. We could see takeovers in the next two to three years.
