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.

Valuation

CVE, CVE

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.

HOLD

Weighted towards heavy oil, which tends to be a little more volatile. Have negotiated a long-term sales agreement with and independent refiner. Well-run. Relatively low payout ratio at 60%. Getting a little bit expensive.

BUY

More exposed to oil, especially heavy oil. Have an interesting play, Seal, in northern Alberta. Also has significant tax pools which will be useful post-2011.

BUY

A little more conservative in terms of money they are paying out of the trust. 9.5% yield. A possibility they could be increasing the distributions.

BUY

A very good operator. Payout ratio is somewhat lower. You could add to it now or on weakness over the next couple of weeks.

TOP PICK

9.8% yield. A heavy oil weighted name. The spreads between heavy and light have really widened and they are starting to narrow again. They have some oil sands which he doesn't think is reflected in the price. Could see 25% to 30% upside from here.
