Baytex Energy Corp (BTE-T) is seen as a company in transition, focusing on Canadian operations following divestments from less favorable assets. Experts express enthusiasm for the new management, particularly the CEO's decision to take a salary in stock, which aligns their interests with shareholders. The sale of American assets has positioned the company to be net cash positive, which should enhance its financial health and provide room for aggressive share buybacks. While there is a consensus that the market may not fully appreciate Baytex's potential, some analysts suggest that the company still has significant upside due to its solid operational efficiencies and disciplined approach to debt reduction. However, concerns about inventory depth and external factors influencing oil prices add an element of caution regarding long-term performance.

Valuation

CVE, CVE

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.

HOLD

Not a big holding for him. Well managed. Has done extremely well. Fairly oily and a good Explorer.

BUY

Likes the prospects. Likes oil or liquid-rich gas. Management has done a tremendous job of finding oil. They can grow production 7-8% over the next 5 years. Almost 5% yield. Prefers to something with almost no dividend.

BUY

CPG got a lot more coverage, but it is hard to argue with BTE’s performance. Heavy/light differential will remain fairly tight which is in BTE’s favour.

COMMENT

Operates in the heavy pumpable oil In the Seal area of Alberta. Very good at it. Pays a nice yield of 4.3%. Have a lot of land. Might take a rest for a while so you could possible wait.

HOLD

Pulled back in the last month along with the energy complex. Likes energy producers that pay a good yield and have long life assets like this one. Will probably continue to grow their production at 7%-8% for the next 3 years.

HOLD

Nice trend. Some indicators are a little overextended. Past a year it is not too extended. Right space, top of relative strength, one of the better ones. No reason to sell – hang on.

DON'T BUY

Has done a great job in the heavy oil business and hedging. Stock reflects a lot of that. We can only get sop much heavy oil down to the US. Longer term this gets worked out but shorter term we are in a bottleneck.

TOP PICK

In the Seal area in Alberta. Heavy oil, but you drill. Now using horizontal and fracing to get the oil out. Very good at it. Just made an acquisition.

BUY

Crescent Point (CPG-T) or Baytex? Would prefer Baytex. Crescent Point has potential to go quite a bit higher with water flood and developing Alberta properties but Baytex has done some exciting things by acquiring heavy oil assets near Seal in the oil sands.

COMMENT

Wary on commodities. Market feels that when it converts, it will maintain the 5.2% yield. Chart shows it at the top of the growth channel and would normally correct or go sideways at that time but doesn’t expect it to go any higher.

BUY

Good support at around $34.50, which is \where you should put your Stops. Strong up trend from early 2009. Moving averages are moving up. Will be converting to a Corp soon, but market has discounted that. Good volume going back quite a long time. 5% yield.

TOP PICK

75% oil, largely heavy oil. Have a couple of growth plays that can give them exposure to light oil. Have been extremely good at recycling the cash into the business. Have about the lowest finding costs in Canada. Applying new technologies for recovery. Pay out only about 50% of their cash flow. Expecting 5%-6% production growth. 5.6% yield.

TOP PICK

Heavy oil producer, but conventional heavy oil. Mainly in the Seal area. Outstanding record in the recoveries. New technologies are really going to mean heavy recoveries. Yielding about 6% and he expects them to hold this.

HOLD

He was going to buy it last December but something else came up.
