This summary was created by AI, based on 10 opinions in the last 12 months.

MEG Energy Corp has been at the center of significant market activity, especially following its acquisition by Cenovus Energy (CVE). Although opinions vary, many analysts express disappointment at losing what they consider a strong player in the Canadian oil sector, noting the strong fundamentals and potential for solid returns. Analysts emphasize that despite currently depressed market sentiment and valuations below fair value, the merger with CVE could create advantageous synergies. However, some experts suggest a shift in focus towards companies with better natural gas exposure, indicating that while MEG was a compelling investment, the landscape is changing rapidly with potential acquisitions stirring investor concerns. As the vote on the acquisition approaches, many analysts advise investors to hold their positions until more clarity emerges, recommending caution amid the ongoing volatility in the sector.

COMMENT

Rotate between MEG and BIR?

Makes sense. MEG is a pure oil play with long-life reserves, and BIR is more levered to natural gas. You're adding a new level of risk to switch back and forth. The risk is you do it at the wrong time and end up losing. The volatility is beautiful on the upside, but kills you on the downside. Instead, buy ARX with decent nat gas, and a light oil play since they bought Seven Generations, and production growth. Then you don't have to make the decisions about moving back and forth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 28/22, Up 44%) If bullish on oil, very good name to buy. Strong leverage on oil price. Company trading at 33% free cash flow (privatize in 3 years). 35 years of reserves. Example of mis-pricing in energy shares. Expecting a double in share price.

TOP PICK

Pure play oil sands company. 2023 will pay 100% back to shareholders. 35 years of production that shareholders only have to pay 3 years price for. Expecting a 100% return on the shares. Company has large amounts of tax loses. Expecting company to sell given value of shares on the market.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Huge exposure to energy prices and will benefit from higher energy prices. Paying down debt and is returning capital to shareholders. Good long term company with strong prospects.

TOP PICK

Has 35 years of reserves. As they buy back shares the price goes up. Trading at 32% of free cash flow at $100 oil and is committed to paying back 32% in a year's time. Still paying down debt and has no need to buy more land. Has 127% potential upside.Buy 8, Hold 6, Sell 0. (Analysts’ price target is $23.21)

TOP PICK

Highest conviction name. 35 years of stay flat inventory with less than 3x cash flow. Trading at 30% free cash flow. Aggressively paying down debt. Expecting company to buyback 42% of shares. Expecting a multiple of 6x, or $42 share price.

TOP PICK

Single asset company (oil) with large amount of torque/exposure to energy prices. 35 years of inventory (oil reserves) and only paying for 2 years at current share price. Expecting 50% of free cash flow next quarter and 100% this time next year. Expecting a 6x multiple on current share price which implies a $42 share price. Large share price discount being presented to investors(~2.5 cash flow).

TOP PICK

Direct play on all time high heavy oil prices. Company committed to returning capital back to shareholders (recently bought 3.5 million shares back). Have pledged to return 100% free cash flow yield back to shareholders once debt paid back. Long reserve life with high cash flow yields, will lead to massive share price appreciation (85% upside).

HOLD

He's very bullish on the Canadian oil & gas sector. Penalized by its high debt. But very high cashflows mean it's improved its balance sheet. The kind of stock Canadians should continue to own.

WEAK BUY

Focused on making its environmental footprint as positive as it can be, and the team has done a good job. Paying down debt, and once it does that you'll see moderate growth and shareholder returns.

HOLD

Hold on to it but then exit early to mid May. One of his favourites in the energy sector is CNQ and other larger names. We are at the tail end of the smaller names.
