Birchcliff Energy Ltd. (BIR-T) has garnered a mix of opinions from experts, predominantly focusing on its position in the natural gas sector. While some highlight its status as a significant gas producer in Canada, concerns about its smaller market cap and the associated risks such as volatility in natural gas prices are noted. Experts indicate that current political constraints in Canada could impact natural gas prices in the short term, though there is hope that over the next few years, prices may stabilize and improve if political dynamics change. Additionally, while Birchcliff is aggressively paying down debt, its capital-intensive nature means that positive free cash flow (FCF) may not be realized until 2029. Overall, the company is viewed as having potential for upside, especially for those with a higher risk appetite, particularly as the long-term outlook for LNG growth remains promising.

DON'T BUY

The trouble with natural gas is that there is a lot of it around. The amount in storage in the US is actually over the chart. Doesn’t feel there will be a price increase for natural gas.

BUY

One of the more attractive juniors, decent balance sheet. Valuation is attractive and production growth would be the catalyst.

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.
