Birchcliff Energy Ltd. (BIR-T) has been highlighted as a small-cap natural gas producer with a potential for significant upside, particularly for those optimistic about natural gas prices. Experts have noted the company's history of higher highs and higher lows in its stock performance, indicating a potential momentum shift. However, concerns about leverage and capital expenditure requirements for growth are paramount, with projections suggesting a wait until 2029 for free cash flow to materialize. Comparisons with peers suggest that while BIR has its merits, other options in the natural gas sector such as TOU, AAV, or ARX may present better opportunities in terms of quality inventory and dividend returns. Overall, it remains a valid consideration, but not necessarily a top choice for investors focused solely on natural gas investments.

Consensus

Decent

Valuation

Fair Value

TOU

TOP PICK

Natural gas in the Montney region. Company is up for sale. He is convinced it is trading for less than what it is worth. He calculates NAV at around $12. With rising natural gas prices, they would get higher revenues, higher profits plus a discount should close (?). The real upside could come from a takeover.

TOP PICK

More dry gas. Liquid Nat Gas has come off a bit. They give you the best torque to a Nat Gas recovery. Balance sheet is in good shape although a little leveraged.

COMMENT

Has a very large contiguous asset base for dry gas. Currently in the process of constructing a plant, which will make them one of the lowest cost gas producers. Some concerns over the balance sheet. Highly leveraged but he is a big bull on natural gas.

DON'T BUY

Have been investing heavily into building their own plants so that operating costs are very, very low. Last quarter they had an operating net back of around $2 per MCF which is pretty commendable. Multiple and leverage is still a little bit higher than what he would like. There are others you would prefer.

WEAK BUY

Gasier name. Owns a different one. Would but if it sold off to $10.

DON'T BUY

Assets are fine, but debt is high. One shareholder holds 25% of company and he has a big following.

DON'T BUY

Debt to cash flow is almost 4X, which is very high. Have a great asset base but the stock is very expensive.

SELL

Had one of the best runs. Pure gas, pretty liquid. It will probably be one of the first ones to finish. If bought for a trade, then hang off, otherwise sell half and ride the rest.

COMMENT

A good name, particularly in this gas environment recovery. Valuation relative to its peers is a little bit higher for her but she likes the team and the assets. She would like it at the $5-$6 range but not a bad investment for the individual investor.

DON'T BUY

An unhedged Canadian Gas company. He is short on the stock, but hasn’t made a lot of money because 21% investor is a big bull on this company.

DON'T BUY

Very good land base which could be a target for acquisition but their debt is 4X debt to cash flow and she prefers it at about 2X. They should do an equity issue but they haven't. Valuation is very steep.

DON'T BUY

There are other gas stocks that he prefers. In the shale plays in British Columbia. The problem with these companies is the price of gas itself. You have to be patient with it because at some point it turns up but he doesn't see it lifting in the near term.

DON'T BUY

Not crazy about gas. Also not crazy about their balance sheet. Recently did an issue that alleviates this but still doesn't have the pristine balance sheet that she would prefer. Have an attractive land package and good prospects ahead of them but they need a better gas price.

DON'T BUY

Very good asset base in the Peace River Arch in Alberta as well as some very good Montney lands. Valuation is very rich right now and you are paying for a lot of future reserves in the ground to come.

COMMENT

Natural gas in the Montney shale formation. Lots of reserves and recently raised some cash to develop them. Will probably get acquired.
