Cenovus Energy, symbol CVE-T, has elicited mixed feedback from experts, with many recognizing its strong operational aspects following its acquisition of MEG Energy. The reviews indicate a consensus that the stock has benefits from significant refinery margins and a solid asset base in the oil sands, which positions it well for future performance. However, there are concerns over its increased debt load from the MEG acquisition, with some experts urging caution regarding near-term performance as the company focuses on debt reduction over share buybacks or dividends. Opinions vary, with some highlighting it as undervalued in the context of robust oil prices, while others prefer competitors like CNQ, indicating varying levels of confidence in its future prospects. Overall, Cenovus is seen as a solid long-term investment, although experts recommend careful monitoring of market conditions and stock performance before making additional investments.

HOLD

Stock vs. warrants? Stock versus warrants is really a question of do you want additional leverage on the warrants? Strike price is $6.54, so it's well in the money. Likes it with strong price momentum. Held back by COP selling shares, so could be a catch-up trade. Scores well on ESG, reasonable valuation.

BUY

ConocoPhillips selling holdings has had downward pressure on stock. Only large cap that Ninepoint owns. Currently trading at ~3x cash flow & 31% free cash flow yield ($100 oil). Plans to reduce debt and increase dividend. At $100 oil, opportunity for 111% upside.

BUY

Doing well compared to the group. Long way to go. There will be volatility, but energy is underowned. Great assets. Prefers CNQ, but both are great. Trades at 8x next year's earnings, balance sheet good, paying down debt.

BUY

Believes company is a well positioned and likes the stock. Strong management team. Operational execution has been strong. Company cleaning up balance sheet (reducing debt). Believes company will increase the dividend. Company offers above average returns with below average risk.

HOLD

Paying down debt, because otherwise it makes it hard to get financing. Sold off part of assets, a smart move. Likes what they're doing. If oil stays around $75, they will benefit over time. They're being cautious. They've agreed to buy back shares, but this can change.

COMMENT

Selling gas station and oil sands assets to pay debt He's been fairly big in the energy sector, but not CVE. It's good they're paying down debt as rates are low. There will be continued demand for fossil fuels. There's a supply shortage and alternative sources haven't filled energy demand yet. He's bullish energy.

WEAK BUY

They made a buy purchase of Husky. It's probably a good long-term hold if you want exposure in the energy patch. She owns no oil producers, but pipelines instead. CVE is decent.

BUY

Doing very well. Increased dividend, though not a big yield. Free cashflow accelerating. Improved balance sheet. Sold non-core holdings. Increased production. Talks environmental responsibility. Good future ahead. Discount to the group.

COMMENT

Might take another run at MEG, but he'd be surprised, as they could get into trouble. They just got out of jail from the disappointing Husky transaction. Seem pretty focused on returning capital to shareholders and paying down debt. A tough business.

BUY

Likes it. The only large cap he owns. It is trading at a material discount. They have a great CEO who executes well. The Husky gas station sale is good to deleverage. 74% upside potential. Volume has been strong. Trading at a good discount. A standout choice.

DON'T BUY

A producer. Selloff in mid-streams favours owning them over a name like this. Producers are more commodity exposed, with risks of labour cost inflation and supply chain shortages. He prefers names like ENB, PPL, and TRP with their healthy dividends and less volatility.

TOP PICK

Highest conviction play. A large cap that can offer 100% upside potential. Trading at half of the multiples of US peers. Aggressively paying down the Husky debt. Breached the 10B metric and buybacks start Tuesday. They still have assets to sell that can contribute to buybacks. Balance sheet is improving. At $80 oil, it could be in the low $30s. (Analysts’ price target is $19.05)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

CVE-T vs. CNQ-T. CNQ-T has not outperformed over ten years but he would be weighted more towards it for the short term at this point, buying on weakness. The dividend return is important to a lot of investors.

COMMENT

These days, you want to own the larger cap players. They all plan to cut back spending, reduce debt, increase dividend, buy back shares. He owns CNQ instead. Won't be massive increases in exploration and production. Oil is not going away.
