Valuation

Fair Value

CVE

TOP PICK

Coming out of the bottom, large-cap stocks tend to move. Likes reserves they have in the ground. Loves the financial discipline. Balance sheet is clean and they consistently buy back shares. Very good employers of capital. Owner is Exxon (XOM-N) who is always there if anything goes wrong. Would be a buyer up to $46.

TOP PICK

Kearl oil sands project has been sanctioned. In a market that’s very choppy and volatile you want quality.

PARTIAL BUY

Downward momentum is slowing on the 200 day moving average and there is some short-term upward momentum. Also the shorter term moving averages are starting to come up. Forming a bit of a consolidation giving it the potential to break up nicely. MACD is also positive. Use a $40 stop. If you buy just take a small position.

BUY

No debt. Lots of cash to expand if they wish and think they will and are in the oil sands. There could also be modest dividend increases. Has one of the best collection of brain power in the industry.

BUY

Overhang on this is the parent company and is generally considered to be a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil (XOM-N). Doesn't get its due recognition. Has an incredible work with technology and have done incredible work in the oil sands’ discovery and processing.

BUY

Just announced they are going ahead with the Kearl project. Good quality company with very good properties. Thinks oil will go from $60 to $70 in the next little while and this company will be a big beneficiary.

BUY

Looks pretty constructive based on their Kearl project. He prefers the PetroCan (PCA-T)/Suncor (SU-T) combination as his key Canadian integrated.

TOP PICK

They will announce the go-ahead of the Kearl project, which will be a material growth aspect for them. Hopefully that will be recognized in the marketplace.

SELL

Sold this week because valuation compared to piers became higher. May get back in.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Bit boring. You can go elsewhere in the oil patch and get better value.

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Not a fan because they are not growing their production.

TOP PICK

Typically when you come to the end of these panics stimulus takes place. Oil comes off from very low levels and recovers nicely. This one has ROE levels of 43%.

TOP PICK

Fantastic capital allocators and have a clean balance sheet. Although dividend yield is low, they buy back 5% of the stock each year, which supports the share price. The option value on this is bitumen accrual and the frontier gas Mackenzie Delta.

COMMENT

Looks like it is holding in at around $38. He would recommend a stop of around $35-$36. Stock is trying to get above the 50-day moving average of $46. Relative strength indicates it is neither overbought nor oversold. Any uptick in demand should do well for this sector.

DON'T BUY

Profitability is now falling quite rapidly. Reporting one of the fastest profit declines.
