Cenovus Energy (CVE) is viewed favorably by a number of analysts, who emphasize its strong operational performance, particularly following the MEG Energy acquisition. The company is recognized for its cost-effective operations and impressive refining margins, with significant upside potential suggested, ranging between 50-60%. It has been actively paying down debt and is expected to direct a large portion of its free cash flow back to shareholders, predominantly through buybacks. Despite some caution regarding its current valuation and debt levels, many see it as a solid investment choice, especially with rising oil prices and robust asset quality. Overall, while some analysts prefer other companies like CNQ, the general sentiment leans towards CVE being an attractive option for energy sector investors.

CNQ

COMMENT

This is one he would look at but is second in line to his preference of . Canadian Natural Rsrcs (CNQ-T). You want to see a total pick up in interest in the oil sands and natural gas.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 2/10. Up 22.69%.) Oil sands projects are SAGD types and they have some really good fields, which have held up very well with a great 3-4 year program to bring them on stream.

BUY

Oil stocks got beaten up. Thinks this was because of profit taking. Still likes. Huge long term assets. The oil sands are off and rolling. Hopefully they’ll keep their costs under control.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Stocks done really, really well. If you own, stay with it. New buyers should wait for a bit of weakness.

WAIT

Likes it. Almost a 10% pullback. It depends on your short term outlook. If you are trying to pick a bottom, watch wat happens in Saudi Arabia in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 17/10. Up 47.94%.) Well managed. Did some very smart joint ventures to help pay for some of the development in the oil sands. Still likes.

TOP PICK

If you really want to participate in the tar sands, this is the way to go. They are also big in the SAGD, which is a much greener approach and less disruptive on the local areas.

COMMENT

Took profits at around $32. Good company as long as you are positive on crude prices. Well positioned company that is going to grow. Prefers things that have a bigger yield to them.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 2/10. Up 25.77%.) This might be one of those great Canadian companies that you just hold on to forever. Very good at what they do.

BUY

Sees long term growth here. Well run company. Really tied into the price of oil. Caveat. Cdn oil companies sell in US $’s so it could be bad if the Cdn$ goes up.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 27/10. Up 33.44%.) Extremely well managed. Good properties including unexploited oil sands. Good level. Expecting cash levels will be going up over the next number of years at the $3.60-$3.70 level.

BUY

One of his top holdings. Likes it from a 2-5 year point of view. Very high quality assets. They aren’t spending money on gas assets; it is just a cash cow.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 10/09, Up 27%) Went to his target and he said thank-you and went on to other things. A week or so ago he bought Encana, which is the Gas story. CVE was oil.

TOP PICK

Stock has been sideways for a while but likes what they are doing and it could break out from here. Likes SAGD approach, which is much neater. Feels they are the leading edge of the oil sands area.

SELL

Just covered a Short he had on it. On a parallel between it and Suncor (SU-T) and finds the valuation ridiculous. Almost 50% natural gas so you are paying an oil sand premium for natural gas. Fully valued.
