DON'T BUY

BIR vs. PEY vs. ARX

LNG Canada is bringing a significant export opportunity for all Canadian nat gas companies towards the end of 2025. This will be transformational. He likes all Canadian nat gas producers on a volume basis. His preference is ARX, as it's diversified with undeveloped land. Prefers PEY to BIR; management is stronger, though its dividend will be subject to commodity prices, can grow production long-term.

COMMENT

Share have been hurt because of weak natural gas prices. BIR's debt-free aims may be delayed by a year because of this. He is positive nat gas, because the move to renewables from fossil fuels will take time.

HOLD

Doesn't like natural gas. Good dividend yield. Good management team, but better idea out there.

BUY

Recent special dividend, and he admires this conservative use of capital for cyclicals. Doesn't hedge a lot, so lots of torque with commodity pricing. If you think nat gas will be under pressure this winter, BIR is good to hold onto. PE is relatively low, because earnings are high, and that's when you have to be careful. Good balance sheet.

COMMENT

Trading at 2.6 X. Used free cash flow for dividends - companies should be using it for share buybacks. so it gets a re-rating on price. TOU or ARC are better for gas companies.

BUY

Is a long term shareholder of the company. Given strength of energy prices, is a very strong company. Politically stable country. Large amounts of cash flow generation. Very high quality name with good management team. Would recommend buying.

BUY

Very straight forward management team with clear intentions. Company has committed to eliminating debt and increasing dividend. Looking at ~8% dividend yield going forward. Good company if shareholders looking for dividends. Sees more upside in other energy companies.

DON'T BUY

BIR vs. CPG CPG is more balanced oil and nat gas, whereas BIR has more nat gas. CPG has had a good turnaround from new management. CPG is cheap on free cashflow basis, and he'd definitely look at it at these prices.

BUY

Believes company is a strong natural gas producer. Expecting increasing share price, dividends and stock buybacks. Natural gas pricing environment to remain strong. Thinks natural gas prices will remain high with LNG expansion in Canada.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 24/20, Up 1376%) Big beneficiary of nat gas LNG on the west coast. $20 target on it. Will be out of debt by the end of this year, lots of free cashflow, unhedged. Premier company. Potential takeover. A buy on any weakness. He sold on recession concerns.

TOP PICK

It has lots of upside based on current earnings and has traded much higher historically. It has both oil and gas with some emphasis on gas. There is more upside for oil and gas generally. Buy 12 Hold 2 Sell 0

N/A

Company exposed to natural gas price. Believes more upside in Canadian oil companies. Paying down debt and strong management team.

DON'T BUY

Not bullish on gas due to its relation with weather. Could see 46% upside, but other names have more potential. Look for cheaper multiples.

COMMENT

Can see a 40% upside here. Goal is to pay down debt and stream out the free cashflow. The inventory depth of the asset, it is trading at 18% free cashflow. Future dividend is possible. Everything looks good in the sector, so you must chose the best option.
