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
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.
DON'T BUY
Gas producer with some interesting exposure in the Montney play in Alberta. Very expensive relative to its peers. Good management. Would prefer others such as Celtic Exploration (CLT-T) or Arc Energy (AET.UN-T).
BUY
(Market Call Minute) At some point gas prices go higher.
DON'T BUY
Has a premium price and high debt level compared to pier group. Likes the management and the plays.
COMMENT
There is a very brilliant investor behind it and it trades at a very high multiple. He prefers to buy stocks on a discount.
DON'T BUY
Have large undeveloped Montney resources. Execution risks are reasonably high. A lot of downside in gas prices currently.
PARTIAL BUY
Heavily involved in the Montney play in Alberta. Produces about 12,000 barrels a day. Natural gas weighted. He is under weighted on the stock but you want to have some exposure. Leverage is a bit of a concern sold they are spending cash flow that mutes any growth into next year. Expecting some growth in 09.
BUY
One of the leading juniors in the Montney gas play. Has been trashed along with everything. Should be all right. Gas should be stable. Speculation on gas.
TRADE
Gas driven, undervalued, done well, prices got expensive, better value in Galleon.
HOLD
Big Montney gas exposure. Likes the company. Sold out his position. On his list to look at.
COMMENT
Montney shale play is attracting the most interest in the oil sector. Could be a take out. Don’t the results there will get disappointing.
HOLD
One of the favoured Montney plays.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Great company with some massive assets. Pretty rich valuation. Be careful.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Any company in the Montney region is a possible candidate for a takeover. What matters is the amount of land and its quality. Expect this is a strategy of this management but doesn't think it will be taken out this year. Thinks that over the next month there could be a good buying opportunity.
