Arc Resources Ltd. (ARX) has faced challenges primarily due to issues with its Attachie project and the volatile natural gas market. Although its stock has taken a hit, many analysts still see potential in the company's long-term growth. There's a general sentiment that the company's assets, particularly in natural gas and condensate, provide a solid foundation for future growth, especially with the anticipated demand for LNG. However, the current price fluctuations and production guidance have led to varied opinions, with some experts advocating for patience and others suggesting investors may want to explore other opportunities in the energy sector. Overall, while concerns remain about the company's current performance and market conditions, analysts still acknowledge its quality assets and the potential for recovery.

Market Outlook TOU-T is planning to spin off some of their infrastructure into a royalty like offering, while retaining 80% of the value. Prior to this the stock was trading at all time lows and the market was giving zero value to the infrastructure they held. The company was trading at 3 times cash flow. The assets they are effectively selling are being valued at 9 times cash flow within the offering. This should remind people how undervalued this space is and there are self-adjusting opportunities that will "fix the funk" we see today. 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.
