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.

Valuation

Fair Value

WATCH

Their spending budget exceeds cash flow. He likes the management team. There is the possibility of a reserve write down. It is probably interesting at this level. But he would let it settle out for a while and not get involved.

BUY

He is not shy about taking a profit when he makes the easy money. It has a 12% free cash flow yield. He would like to see more inside ownership but it is a good way to get exposure to an increasing commodity price backdrop.

BUY

About a 5% monthly dividend. He intends to buy more. The balance sheet is not a problem. They will be a big beneficiary of LNG. The management team has done a good job in the past for shareholders.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

How does it change a stock when it leaves the TSX? It is just a market cap thing. It has nothing to do with the value of the company. They benefit from LNG. Tax loss selling will attach this one but be will be a buyer.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It has had a nice bounce and he would be a buyer on any weakness. He has a target of $5 in twelve months. It is over a 4% dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

There's an abundance of natural gas, but there's a lag in the build-out for further LNG capacity. Globally, there's an overbuild of LNG capacity that takes time to soak up; Euro nat gas prices have plunged. He's not excited by natural gas. Pays almost a 6% yield because the share price has fallen so much. Nothing against BIR, but the nat gas space is troubled.

TOP PICK

Nat Gas producer in the North West Alberta. 5.44% dividend yield. He likes it a lot and has a $5 target. (Analysts’ price target is $4.70)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the company. His one-year price target is $5. Balance sheet very strong, good growth potential when gas prices pick up. Intends to buy more. Yield is about 3.5%. Raised dividend about 5% a couple of months ago.

HOLD

A premiere gas producer with good critical scale. He owns it, but it will take some patience. It has 20% in liquids and their gas pricing is non-AECO and non-Station 2 (BC), moving into the Chicago market.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 16/18, Up 12%) The balance sheet is in good shape. They are now guiding flat. They will knock off some debt this year. Book value is $6.67 and he has a $7 target. He keeps on adding to it. They raised the dividend in the last quarter.

COMMENT

He likes energy in general, and BIR will likely reach $5, but doesn't know if it'll rise higher than that.

DON'T BUY

He is challenged with natural gas in general in North America. There is a tonne of low cost supply. There are other names he would strongly prefer. He would not have exposure to Canadian nat gas stocks now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 18/18, Up 15%) It has done well. They are generating cash flow even in the coming year. Below $3.20 it is a buy and below $3 it is a table pounding buy.

DON'T BUY

They are natural gas and people are frustrated with Nat Gas companies. Nat Gas is up in the states but this one has been hit. It is the difference between Canadian and US pricing differences. In Canada Nat Gas companies don’t have the same robustness from seasonality. Nat Gas will do well again just before the A/C season. Wait until you see Nat Gas going up before getting into this stock.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Why is the price of natural gas rising, but this stock is declining? There's not always a correlation between natural gas prices and these stocks. BIR has a $2.80 support level, but nat gas' seasonality just ended. We need to see BIR hold its current level. He expects investors to step in here.
