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.

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.

STRONG BUY

(Market Call Minute.) A must own. The upside is the potential doubling of its reserves and a game changer with commercialization of its Seal project.

BUY

Very much focused on heavy oil. Well run. With the Chinese buying 45% of Penn West (PWT.UN-T), this refocuses investors interest on this one.

TOP PICK

Expert in heavy oil production through the drill bit. Mainly in Theo Alberta.

BUY

There are several oil/gas trusts that will be hybrids when they convert with very decent dividends and growth vehicles. This is one of them.

BUY

Ideal model for a royalty trust. Fairly high income producing company. Key catalyst for growth is their Seals project in the oil sands, which has 5 billion barrels of oil in place.

BUY

Having some success in the Cardium region.

HOLD

Beautiful chart, which looks like it has no intention of going anywhere but up. Seasonality is to the end of May so wouldn't be surprised to see it soften some time at that point.

HOLD

Has reached a 52-week high. 6% distribution should be safe. Should transition to a corporation very smoothly.

BUY

Likes it because it is all heavy oil. In a very enviable position. Low risk. Given profits, distribution is not at risk. They can pay it out AND fund their program.

BUY

One of the seniors. One of the very serious ones in these new plays. Can easily pay the million dollars to do the conversion. Bought it not long ago. 7%

BUY

Doesn't expect any problems when they change to a corp. Expected to distributions, but if not, adjustment will be slight. On an after-tax basis, you should end up in the same place.
