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

BUY

Attractive assets. 50 Million Barrels of oil in place. Should be able to access a substantial amount. Recently increased distribution by 50%, which reflects managements view on heavy oil spreads. Distribution is safe.

BUY

Great way to play heavy oil. Have done a great job on their Seals project in the oil sands. Have a new play in North Dakota in the Bakken. Have to be careful of heavy oil differentials as they start to grow out going into the winters. 5.4% yield has a better chance of being increased rather than decreased.

PARTIAL BUY

Great oil sands property, a cyclic steam, which is very attractive from a cost standpoint. One of the more conservatively managed trusts. Has had a great run. Wouldn't buy aggressively.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/08. Down 4.75%.) One of the more solid names. Sold in March because of concerns about debt and refinancing. Held in fairly well because it is heavy oil and differentials have been narrowing considerably.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sept 5/08, Down 8%) Loves it because it is oil. Heavy oil differentials are low and they get all the benefit of that. Really safe distribution.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/08. Down 15.07%.) Heavy oil producer and recently had their reserves re-rated. Has lots of prospectivity on their oil sands project Seal. Differential between lights and heavies is collapsing. Continue to Hold.

BUY

Heavy oil weighted. Differentials have coming in nicely over the last little while and are close to 15%-20%.

BUY

Has been a favourite for a long time. Very good at producing flowable heavy oil. Have a lot of sections that they haven't drilled yet. They will do well if oil goes up. Good management.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Oil weighted, primarily heavy oil. Great place to be on a long-term perspective. Has had a pretty good run up so would wait before buying. Great assets.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 9/08. Down 33.9%.) Heavy oil. Crude was very high at that point. Still likes this company.

DON'T BUY

Will move with oil prices. Valuation and debt a little higher than piers.

BUY

Has heavier oil but more and more refineries are able to take a heavier slate of crude.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Primarily heavy oil and a bit of natural gas. Recently raised some money for acquisitions or debt repayment. Hedged some of the differential between heavy and light oil. Well-managed. Would be more comfortable buying in the $14.60 range.

WAIT

Basically heavy oil play. Good resource potential through their Seal play. Cut the distribution in December and at current spot prices they will likely have to cut again but will probably wait until March. Good long-term potential. Great net backs.

HOLD

Heavy oil. Interesting play in Alberta called Seal. May have to cut their distributions again. Well managed company.
