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

Fair Value

CVE

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.

BUY

Heavy oil. Considers their reserves are understated because they are drilling in a homogeneous area. Conservative payout record. Lots of long-term reserves.

WEAK BUY

The whole oil/gas area is one you have to be really cautious about. A lot of trusts are trading at significant premium to their net asset values.

BUY

This fund will do as heavy oil does. Well-run company. He is moving away from heavy oil, but this one is doing well and is reflected in its numbers.

HOLD

A heavy oil story, but it does have a fair bit of production. Doesn't see tremendous upside in the short-term. Suffers from a bit of a discount because of the heavy oil.

TOP PICK

Yield is 8.25%. 33% Return On Equity. Good strong profit growth. This is a defensive energy pick.

HOLD

Has done extremely well. Would-be looking for an increase in the payout. Right now the yield is getting a little low.

BUY

Expects capital gains. A name he really likes.

SELL

A heavy oil trust. The spread between heavy oil and light oil has narrowed so the trust has done very well. This is a seasonal stock and demand is highest in the summer, so you might want to take profits now.

BUY

Has 3 elements, conventional, heavy oil and some natural gas. Have some cost efficiencies in place. Differential between heavy and light oil is narrowing.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A very well-run company. The area they are working in has excellent resources. It has been helped recently by the spread between light and heavy oil. Would like to see a pullback.

TOP PICK

Likes the energy play and loves the management team. They have done a nice little financial engineering. A heavy oil company that has taken away a lot of their heavy oil exposure, yet it still gets a heavy oil discount. Right now, their payout ratio is 35%.
