Wouldn't own now. Had a good rally, and has been outperforming off the Venezuela noise. They patronize Trump the most, and so they got preferential status, while Exxon calls the country "uninvestable". Has modest operations in Venezuela of 2% of its volumes and cashflow.
Huge rally on Trump guaranteeing security, which he's backpedaled on. Too much euphoria in the hype. Trades at a premium. He'd invest in CVE instead.
Oil stocks rallied hard today on news that Columbian president Maduro has been captured, but stocks like this opened too high. So, you must expect losses. The oil story where US oil stocks will benefit from Venezuela's reserves will take YEARS to play out, not days. Nobody will buy these stocks as soon as tomorrow. Also, the oil price has been going down.
She sold late last year for profits but she still likes it for its profitability. There will be some volatility with the energy cycles. Trades at 11 times 2026 free cash flow and pays a dividend of 4%. She sees only 7% upside but has it on her watch list and could trade it.
He stays home for oil and gas stocks, especially because years of underappreciating Canada has led to lower valuations. For dividends coming from the O&G patch, especially in Canada where they're tax-effective, there's no better place to be. With this name, you're buying the oil price, but he believes more in the gas price.
She is following it. Has a good dividend of 4.6 to 4.7. It is very volatile but is one of the best positioned with a strong balance sheet. She sees upside and free cash flow of 9%. It is one of the fastest growing in the offshore basin. There is an oil overhang due to softer prices but you could set up for a compelling entry price point.
Decent dividend yield. Best held in an RRSP to get the best effect of the dividend. It has been following one of his structural prices at 1.5 times book value and has been for a long time. The slope of the growth of the book value is running at 12-13%. You get this plus the yield. Great balance sheet and earnings look fine. Put it away and forget about it.
