Baytex Energy Corp (BTE-T) is undergoing a significant transformation by refocusing its operations in Canada, which has been well-received by industry experts. The company has demonstrated strong financial discipline by selling off underperforming U.S. assets and using the proceeds to reduce debt, leading to a cash position of around $500M to $900M. Analysts appreciate the new CEO's commitment to taking his salary in stock options, indicating confidence in the company's future. While there is optimism about the potential for share buybacks and operational efficiencies, some experts express concerns regarding the overall inventory depth and the company's ability to compete with larger energy players. Overall, the sentiment is cautiously optimistic, suggesting potential upside for dividend-conscious investors.

Valuation

CVE

TOP PICK

A secure dividend and the company can organically grow itself 5%-10%. This is fantastic in the industry. If it is real growth and conservatively financed, great asset in Seal which is the real great asset inside it, you are buying the stock with the heavy as the differential. 5.5% yield.

WEAK BUY

Not a big holding. CPG is bigger. It is an oily type company and he likes that. He has no problem with BAY-T, but prefers CPG.

BUY

In the Seal area where they are drilling oil and gas. It is almost like a utility in that they know exactly what they are doing. A little concerned that they are a little bit slow in bringing in some of the new technology. One of the lowest cost producers. They will keep on increasing their production and dividends.

TOP PICK

Great growth spectrum and has a great dividend. Good company. Has a target of $71.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 21/11, Up 24.33%) A major holding personally. Pumpable heavy oil. Would not be surprised if they raise the dividend again.

BUY

There is a little bit of resistance at around $60. Chart shows a reverse head and shoulders, which is a pretty powerful pattern. If it gets above $60, you have a whole new set of investors that will come in. He likes the oil sector. If you own or buy, put a stop in at around the $50 level.

WAIT

More on the heavy oil side. Will generate positive news going forward. Seasonal period is Jan 23-Jun 15. June 15 is the CAP conference. It is the end of the good news.

TOP PICK

Very competent Alberta heavy oil producer. In the Sele (?) area of Alberta, which is pumpable heavy oil. Technology has improved. Have doubled and tripled their recovery rates, which used to be 5% and is now 15% and could be up to 30%. Just increased their dividend.

TOP PICK

Heavy oil producer. About 90% oil. Pays about 4%-5% distribution. Able to grow production about 8%-10% per share and still have some cash left over, which they can use to pay down debt or make acquisitions. Return on capital has been very good. Everything they say they will do, they do.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick October 27/10, Up 44.25) Healthy yield, low cost producer. Prefers to more energy oriented names to financial. One of the great growth stories. Yield plus inflation protection.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 13/10. Up 41.4%.) Lightened his position when the stock hit $58. Very good at extracting the heavy oil.

TOP PICK

Low cost producer yielding about 5%. Has ability to grow. That’s all he is looking for in energy. Buy it when it comes off.

BUY

Well-run company. Heavy oil. Phenomenal cost structure so can withstand low commodity prices. Yield of 4.9% is absolutely sustainable.

BUY

Has outperformed CPG. He likes them both. IN this environment CPG will be more volatile. BTE because of dividend and strong growth prospects would have to be the one he recommends.

BUY

Great business but in the wrong spot right now. Tremendous sand finding and increasing production. With that they will raise their distribution. They are attractive relative to other producers, but he is reducing his energy exposure. If you want to own one this is one and the yield is good.
