Cenovus Energy (CVE-T) has garnered a mixed but largely positive sentiment among experts, primarily fueled by its recent acquisition of MEG Energy, which is seen as a strategic move that could enhance long-term value. Many analysts lauded the company's robust management and operational efficiency, particularly its significant refinery margins and cash flow potential. Despite acknowledging concerns over the high debt load resulting from the MEG acquisition, many experts believe that the potential synergies and long-lived assets in the oil sands could contribute to future growth. There's a prevailing sense that Cenovus Energy is undervalued compared to its peers, especially if oil prices remain stable or increase in the long run. Although some highlight the risks associated with energy price volatility, the general view is that the company is a solid long-term investment choice within the Canadian energy sector.

COMMENT
Stock price should continue to go up. About 58% natural gas but in its asset mix it has Christina Lake, an excellent heavy oil production facility. Also a big play in Foster Creek. Also involved in refining.
COMMENT
Valuation after the spin-off is a little bit higher than its peer group. Needs an update from the company and then consider whether to Sell or Hold.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
This is the oily side of the Encana (ECA-T) split. Reasonable value at this price.
HOLD
Encana (ECA-T) split into 2 companies with this one retaining oil sands assets, some gas and downstream refining and this one has the natural gas assets. Has been a pop in the natural gas market but he is still sceptical of it. If you own both, he would hold.
COMMENT
Largely oil sands but there is some conventional oil as well as some gas to assist them in their SAGD oil extraction.
DON'T BUY
Integrated and people are getting confused with its upside potential and as a result it is not moving. Has some growth going forward but not until 2011-2012.
SELL
Will let Nat Gas production go down over next 3-5 years and will have flat earnings for several years.
BUY
1st class company. Fairly valued at around $29 so isn't expecting tremendous upside. Relatively small at 225,000 barrels a day. Oil weighted. Christina Lake and Foster Creek are superb assets and the gas assets are very inexpensive to operate. Good management. Wonders if US investors will continue to hold.
TOP PICK
Just announced they will have a dividend by year's end. This gives you the oil play. If you want to be in energy, this is a high quality energy asset. Big participation in tar sands and a great partner in ConocoPhillips (COP-N). Will be a blue chip “go to” name.
DON'T BUY
2 largest oil projects are heavy oils at Foster Creek and Christina Lake but 50% of revenues come from gas production so you are not really getting away from natural gas. A “show me” story.
COMMENT
Encana split into 2 separate companies Encana (ECA-T) and Cenovus (CVE-T). If you combined the 2 prices, this would be as cheap as they have been in quite a while. This one is getting cheap under $26. Still not 100% oil.
DON'T BUY
Encana (ECA-T) spun off their oil into this company and both are trading around similar values. Cenovus Looks like a lower growth oil company with a little bit too much on the downstream business. Prefers others. Sold his holdings.
