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.

BUY

Very well run income trust. Focused on heavy oil. Recently made an acquisition of Burmis Energy (BME-T) that adds to their natural gas and light oil production. Good management team.

COMMENT

Just made an offer to purchase Burmis Energy (BME-T) 2 weeks ago. These are Pembina assets so it will be a little sizzle. The market had not been enamoured with this story but it is starting to turn around. From a trading point of view, wait for a pullback. Distribution should be safe.

TOP PICK

Wanted to provide a stock that provided decent income along with some growth. Yield of about 10%. With an oil price of around $100, you have a company that has been replacing reserves. NAV of over $24. Gives some good upside in terms of growth.

WAIT

Has a bias towards heavy oil. Into the heavy oil project at Seal. Prefers over Penn West (PWT.UN-T). Following 2011, the cash taxes will be mitigated to a great degree by preservation of tax pools in the period leading up to 2011. If you are into market timing, you may want to wait until the snow clears.

BUY

About 65% oil/ 35% gas. Interesting play in northern Alberta and production results just released were pretty good. Payout ratio is just over 60%. Good management.

DON'T BUY

A very solid portfolio of assets. Primarily weighted to oil with significant heavy oil exposure. Has been some volume disappointments.

BUY

11.1% yield.

COMMENT

Recent acquisition has increased their exposure a little bit too light oil. Historically has been in heavy oil. Has quite a bit of promise in the Seal territory.

BUY

Oil weighted. Prefers oil over gas. Their Seal project is very promising. It gives them some upside. A reasonably good entry point.

BUY

Good energy company. Treat the correction as a buying opportunity.

HOLD

Heavy oil player. Higher costs. The management team has done a really good job on de-risking it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Heavy oil weighted trust. Strong management team. Good capital efficiencies. A decent balance sheet.

DON'T BUY

Heavy oil is going to be a great place to be an owner, but feels the income trust thing is a ticking bomb. It'll keep working against you. Distribution cuts are going to be a thing for the foreseeable future.

WAIT

Heavy oil. Have good arrangements for refining in the US. Good management. Good yield. Wait for the budget before buying.

BUY

Has performed very well over the long run. Under pressure due to concerns as to where heavy oil spreads are going. Feels they will continue to do good job. Good management.
