Arc Resources Ltd (ARX) is currently in a transitional state as it faces an acquisition by Shell. Many analysts believe the deal will likely go through at the stipulated offer price, suggesting limited immediate upside for holding ARX shares. A recurring theme in the reviews is the strategic decision surrounding whether to convert to Shell shares or invest in other Canadian energy stocks. Analysts emphasize the strong asset quality of ARX but acknowledge concerns regarding project delays, specifically the Attachie project, and its implications for future growth. The sentiment seems cautious, with a call for patience and possible reinvestment in other energy firms or sectors while awaiting clearer performance indicators from ARX.

COMMENT

Considered as one of the best in the industry on the natural gas side. Good management, asset plays and cost structure. Until natural gas prices recover, the stock will probably languish. If you have a long-term time horizon and if we are in a $8 to $10 price environment, the stock will probably be up 10 points from here.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 26/08. Down 24.3%.) Only reason he didn't get stopped is because crude went from $35 to the low $40’s so with underlying crude position improving he expects it may come back a little.

BUY

No question that you will see a decline in distributions in all energy trusts. In this one, he is looking for a 40% reduction. This company and management are one of the finest mid cap oil companies in this country. Great long-term Buy.

BUY

Has been operating well with regards to maintaining production and increasing reserves. Price is down along with the price of oil. This is the one of the better places for oil/gas. Good balance sheet and resource base.

BUY

Although the commodity has taken off, these trusts have not followed through yet. NAV in the $17 range.

HOLD

Have cut their distribution along with all the oil/gas trusts. Good reserve life and distribution percentage of free cash flow is good. Probably looks inexpensive compared to its peers.

HOLD

Almost the benchmark trust in the industry. Half natural gas and half oil. 11%-12% distribution is fairly safe. Financially strong.

TOP PICK

Well run oil company that happens to be an income trust. Loves their Montney properties. Cut their payouts but 12.25% should be sustainable. If gas prices come back, which he thinks it will, you'll probably see the payouts come back again.

BUY

On a debt to cash flow basis looked quite good but saw an opportunity to raise cash and got $250 million. A prudent move on their part as it will fund their capital projects. (One is a Montney gas plant this year.) Should be part of a core portfolio in energy.

COMMENT

Hurt with the price of oil. Likes oil/gas sector and in particular, energy trusts because they pay while he waits. As the trusts all come off in 2011, most of them have tax pools that will shelter their income.

TOP PICK

Has consistently maintained or grown reserves and production per unit while maintaining a sustainable distribution ratio. Have a Montney play in Dawson that has a big resource.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 26/08. Down 28.2%.) Had previously cut distributions so thought it would be okay but the day after the recommendation, they cut it again. Very close to being stopped out. If oil holds, you have a great distribution.

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) Looks like a lot of the rest of the sector. It's on support and you will have a chance to Sell if you need to. Either a Hold or a Sell.

DON'T BUY

Trusts are being phased out in a few years but it does not mean trust structures are going away, they are just going into public pension plans. For individual investors, he thinks trusts are overvalued. He would prefer something like ProEx (PXE-T) for growth gas assets at a cheaper price.

BUY

Fairly conservatively managed trust in terms of reserves in the ground and the payout ratio.
