Kelt Exploration (KEL-T) has garnered positive reviews for its strong position in the Montney region, boasting a significant land base and impressive production figures. Analysts highlight the company’s transition from an exploration-focused model to a development-centric approach, suggesting a shift towards a more predictable and steady operational style akin to manufacturing. While the company does not offer dividends, its current stock price is viewed as inexpensive, with a target valuation set at $12.16 by analysts. However, some experts express concerns about the CEO's lack of share buybacks and believe that Kelt's size may limit its appeal for investors seeking larger M&A opportunities. Overall, Kelt is seen as a promising development play, albeit with some reservations about scalability and strategic management.

TOP PICK

Very strong management team. Reporting earnings tomorrow and will probably be 11,000 BOE’s a day exit rate for the 2nd quarter. A year from now, they should exit at about 18,500 BOE’s a day and that’s with only 60% success of their drilling program, which is really conservative. Very conservative management team and they own big positions in the company. Debt-free. Have great lands.

TOP PICK

Management owns 20% of this company. There is some upside in reserves and they will probably beat production numbers. A good entry point.

COMMENT

Likes their style. Strong balance sheet. Good exploration and good cash flow. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Spectacular team. Has around 11,000 BOE’s a day. About 2/3 gas. This company sets a high bar in terms of how to do things right. They are very good in assembling their asset base.

BUY

Likes this. His “Reduce” support line is $14.60 and the “Sell” support line is at about $13. Doesn’t know what the news was, but it was up 7% on 17 June. Consolidating a bit right now. Volume is tapering off a little. This stock is in new territory, and if they continue staying up here and get above $15.60, it has a potential to take off again.

TOP PICK

Mostly natural gas, but has a very fast growing oil component. Just recently went over the $1 billion market cap. About 20% of the company is owned by directors. Recent Montney oil discoveries and private company acquisition are catalysts for the company. The types of growth they have are breathtaking. Have found new ways of driving down costs. A new acquisition just increased their production from 10,000 to 13,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

TOP PICK

(His 3 Top Picks are all based on continuing strength in natural gas prices.) A management team where he has made a lot of money on another operation that was acquired by Exxon. Has a lot of respect for management. Very prudent in the way they manage their inventory of projects. Mostly unhedged so in the last month or so, they were getting over $10 for their gas on a daily basis. Expects to see great cash flow out of this company. S&P comes out with their Index inclusion tomorrow and he thinks they will make the test and be included in the TSX Composite, which will bring in a lot of new investors into this company.

BUY

Good management team. Likes what they are doing and their focus. Valuation is always a question but over the longer term, it should continue to be a core hold.

TOP PICK

Very, very rapidly growing company. Exceptionally strong management team. Sharing space with Exxon. Have been accumulating a very large land position. If you want to really make money, you invest in oil/gas companies that are growing production per share and this company has a great track record of doing that. Pristine balance sheet. Trading at a very reasonable valuation.

TOP PICK

Hoping that this is the next Raging River (RRX-T).(See Past Picks.) Production has gone from 4500 barrels per day to just under 10,000 barrels per day and thinks they will be growing production at a pretty rapid rate. Pristine balance sheet. Not paying a dividend but is growing internally at around 25% production growth per annum per share. Expects to see this at $12 in 12 months.

WAIT

Everybody is a big fan of this management team as well as herself. She doesn't own though. The company is about 80-85% gas. She is waiting for a better valuation.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Just started trading. One of the best management teams in the basin.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has done well. A brilliant company. Wonderful assets in Western Canada. If it corrects further, you should Buy.
