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.
ALA-T vs. ARX-T. ALA-T is going through a reorganization. It complicates his model. The trailing PE is 19 times and it is cash flow positive. The yield is very high at 10.2% with payout at 60%. The ROE is okay at 6%. He would wait until the financing of the spin out is complete and the market should be more comfortable. He does not follow ARX-T.
Projecting 11% production growth till 2020. Balance sheet pretty good. Not a lot of cashflow per share growth. Pricier than its peers. An 111% payout ratio. If fund flows come to Canada, they’ll come to this name. Will benefit from LNG. Real key is whether oil will stay at $73. If yes, you can buy a lot of energy names, and ARC is one of them.
(A Top Pick August 18, 2017. Down 5%). The company executes excellently. This is primarily a gas company. Gas prices in Canada are extremely depressed because the infrastructure for gas delivery was designed to take southern Alberta gas to the US and Eastern Canada, but all the new discoveries have been made in Northern BC and Northern Alberta. The infrastructure to bring this out is still being built out. Arc has a lot of natural gas liquids. He expects natural gas prices to rise going into the Fall.
Do not have a final investment decision on the LNG plant project yet. Should have a decision on this project sometime this year. Most are thinking the big LNG plant will get built. Most western Canadian natural gas stocks are very cheap. Western Canada is awash in natural gas and North America does not need it. If LNG gets exported globally, will see an enormous boom. Arc is a low cost, high quality operator in this area and may be some merit to own a small position in hope the plant gets built. There is an element of speculation.
