This summary was created by AI, based on 19 opinions in the last 12 months.

Freehold Royalties Ltd (FRU-T) is viewed by experts as a relatively stable investment in the royalty sector, particularly due to its strong dividend yield of approximately 7-8%. Observations indicate an upward trajectory in production, particularly in the US, which may contribute positively to its income. Several analysts commend the company's solid management and geographical positioning, especially its holdings in the Permian Basin.However, there is a degree of caution regarding the long-term prospects for traditional carbon-based energy, with some experts suggesting it as primarily a trading opportunity rather than a long-term hold. The consensus is to take profits if owned for growth, while others support keeping it as a steady income play in a defensive portfolio.

BUY
PSK has a great long-term land position, tilted toward natural gas which should benefit them in coming quarters. Performance was especially poor in the downdraft, as it had been a darling. Cut dividend. He owns FRU instead, a bit smaller and has returned their dividend, and they have catalysts with acquisitions south of the border. Both names will do well, but he prefers FRU.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 02/21, Up 7%) Upside has just started. The most compelling royalty player on the market. CEO doing a great job. See his Top Picks.
TOP PICK
Compelling upside. Sleep at night, great company. Lesser known. Similar to a small cap version of PSK. No production costs, and they put up no capex. They just collect royalties from drilling. Riskless, cheap. Undervalued. Yield is 5.56%. (Analysts’ price target is $13.75)
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 18/20, Up 167%) Gives you good exposure to the commodity price without taking on exploration risk. The stock was mispriced when he recommended it. Has done a series of acquisitions.

TOP PICK
Owns lands where oil and gas is produced. Deals in good parts of the Permian. Excellent dividend record, and now it's almost where it was pre-pandemic. No debt. Should see more dividend increases, more acquisitions, with lower capital intensity. Buy below $9, be happy for a number of years. Yield is 6.51%. (Analysts’ price target is $12.63)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 06/20, Up 114%) Was still emerging from the covid sell off last August. The royalty structure gave them the opportunity to give meaningful dividend increases. The CEO changed. The goal is to maximize upside capture right now and this does not hit his objectives right now. Wants something with more upside potential.
TOP PICK
Very compelling investment with double digit cashflow yield. 15x earnings with a 5% dividend yield. Should go up a lot in the near term. (Analysts’ price target is $18.00)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 20/20, Up 77%) Picked it again for top pick. Biggest holding in his portfolios. Very undervalued company in the oil and gas area. Generates huge amounts of free cashflow with 5% dividend. Trades at half the valuation of other royalty companies.
DON'T BUY

Safe dividend? It's safe. We'll see what mark on the dividend the new CEO will do. They just added acreage in the U.S. Valuation is 10x, a discount to Prairie Sky. Sees 40-50% upside based on $60 oil, however, he's looking for 100% upside after this harsh oil bear market. The yield will likely rise by 50%.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 06/20, Down 23%) All energy stocks were painted with the same brush. Dividend should be raised in Q1 or Q2. Things have stabilized, management has changed and should be more dynamic. Worth a look at these levels.
WAIT

It was a past pick. He trimmed half his position today to buy Enerplus and another company. The CEO and board are quite timid when they should be more aggressive. They cut the dividends by 71%. There is no exploratory risk and is one of the more defendable business. A new CEO must be more aggressive.

TOP PICK
They own land and people pay them to drill on it. The stock has fallen just as much as other names in the energy sector. There was a change in CEO who may be able to communicate better than the last one. Trading at a massive discount. (Analysts’ price target is $6.17)
TOP PICK
A new name for them. It has sold off along with the other oil and gas companies, despite lower risk levels. They cut their dividend by 71%. They can triple dividend and still have free cashflow to grow production. (Analysts’ price target is $6.04)
HOLD
He does thinks the dividend is at risk (40-60% cut). FRU-T cut their dividend in 2014 and did raise it back up as conditions improved and he expects FRU-T to do it again now. The best capitalized companies will thrive. He expects them to survive this downturn. He is looking to average down and get his weighting back up.
BUY
Hold or buy a pipeline? He owns this one for his clients. They may decrease drilling, but when other companies reduce drilling they are forced to sell off royalty interests -- this is good for them. They are slow and steady. CN's pension plan owns this as well in a big way. It appears to be on sale to him. He thinks their cash flow will improve when oil returns to above $50 by June.
