Baytex Energy Corp (BTE-T) has undergone significant changes recently, including divesting from its U.S. assets, leading to a cash position of approximately $900 million that is expected to bolster share buybacks. Experts highlight the company's exposure to profitable Canadian oil plays and the potential for volatility tied to oil prices amid geopolitical tensions. While the general sentiment is cautiously optimistic regarding its operational efficiencies and management's commitment to reduce debt, some analysts express concern over the stock's recent performance and valuation. Comparisons have been made to other energy stocks, suggesting mixed opinions on the best investment strategies in the sector. Overall, the outlook reflects a company making strides in financial stability but still facing challenges in sentiment and market conditions.

CVE, CVE

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.

WAIT

Likes heavy oil. Looking at the market that we will be going into in September/October and that would be the time to buy it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Heavy oil. Distribution is not that great. Buy in the $31 range.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

About 80% oil (mostly heavy oil) and 20% natural gas. Finding costs for their heavy oil are quite good. Have indicated they will keep distributions as is when they convert. Good growth prospects.

BUY

A lot of exposure to heavy oil and bitumen, so the stock is a little more volatile. 6.3% yield is solid and should continue to pay a good yield after conversion.

BUY

He missed this one. Narrowing spreads between regular and heavy oil will benefit them. Long-term hold.
