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

SELL

If he were going to be involved in the oil sands area he would go with Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) and if he owned this he would consider switching.

COMMENT

Cenovus (CVE-T) versus Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T)? Both are good companies and both oil oriented with conventional and crude. He prefers something with a significant yield so he owns Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T) instead. (See Top Picks.)

BUY

Gas assets, which fully financed their growth in the oil sands. Have one of the best SAGD projects. Not expensive.

BUY

Analysts had raised estimates from mid to upper $30’s and stock moved up. When they reported earnings, there was a slight disappointment so the stock has dropped. Still likes and can see $33-$34 over the next year.

TOP PICK

Foster Creek and Christina Lake are the 2 main SAGD operations and have some of the best ratios in the business. Have 137 billion barrels of oil in place on their lands, which will support potential production of 2 million barrels a day.

PARTIAL BUY

This is the mostly oily assets of Encana (ECA-T). Under performed for the first little while and dropped to good value at the $24-$25 range. On days when oil is weak, you can pick away at it and get more aggressive if oil goes back to $70.

TOP PICK

Pure oil play and primarily oil sands. Very good at keeping costs down. These guys are the low cost producers. Very advanced on the technology side. Have refineries. It lowers the volatility. Thinks they will increase their dividend faster than competition.

BUY

Long-term growth story of oil sands. He chose CNQ and SU as his oil stories. Not enough coverage of this one yet. Likes the oil sands. Lots of reserves in a politically stable area. Nice dividend.

BUY

Very high quality company.

DON'T BUY

He is almost at the point of taking out some of his oil stocks and start to look at some of the natural gas. At $85 oil they're going to do fine. More growth on the Encana (ECA-T) side.

BUY

This is a heavy oil side after the split up of Encana (ECA-T). Great management and great prospects. Low cost producer. Oil in the long-term is going to go higher but you need to own good companies.

WATCH

Still not a huge producer yet. Have been able to drill oil sands at one of the lowest costs. A “wait and see” to see if their technology really works.

COMMENT

On a longer-term basis, the tar sands is a less risky side of the business than the gas side and is a good distance away from this company.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) You should buy this for its oil sands production longer-term.

TOP PICK

Very solid integrated oil/gas company. Exposed to the oil sands but have traditional oil/gas assets throughout North America. Very low dividend level relative to earnings so there could be room for dividend increases. Recent quarter came in better than expected. Selling between 6-7 times cash flow.
