Nuvista Energy Ltd (NVA-T)

Offers near-term leverage to a bullish outlook for natural gas, plus long-term exposure to a very bullish outlook on oil. 60% gas, 40% condensates. Very deep resource base. Growing production over next 5 years by ~50%. Also buying back 30-50% of shares at $60-70 oil.

Once production targets are met, its plants will be filled, and the plan is to return 100% of residual FCF back to shareholders. Exceedingly strong balance sheet. Likes the CEO. No dividend.

In his aggressive fund. Choppy pattern, which he likes for swing trading. Support ~$10, resistance ~$14-15. Could drop a bit more from here. 

Is a major shareholder. Is deep value here. They will grow production by 50% over 5 years while free-cash flowing 70-80% of their current market cap in that time. If/when they hit peak production of 120,000 barrels/day in several years, they can keep their inventory flat for 30 years while cash flow will be mind-blowing. He buys in every dip. He sees 50% upside in one year.

She sold this a year ago. She expected after their spin-off to improve margins and product line, but the dental industry is cyclical and tied to the job market. As interest rates rose, many patients deferred treatment. Also, it's in a competitive market and growth was soft in some geographies. Wait and see how the new CEO executes.

It takes discipline to not take profits too early and let your winners ride if the thesis is still playing out. The investor did well to do that, not many can.

Believes his firm is still the second-largest shareholder. Continues to drill exceedingly great wells. Perception of an inventory challenge, but he doesn't agree. Likes the newish CEO a lot. Low growth, but lots of free cashflow. Speculation that POU will buy it out, but he never owns on M&A spec.

Second largest shareholder. Owns shares in company. Condensate exposure very good. Natural gas pricing not a concern. New CEO looks great. Very strong company. Dividend looks safe. Business model is sustainable down to ~$60. Expecting $16/share @ $70 oil. 

He may be early on dry gas producers. Here, you get the gas but also condensate. Condensate's needed for pipeline transport as oil sands slowly increase production. Canada's already short on condensate, so the premium's been extending. Growing production by about 50%, at which point it can keep production flat for 20-25 years. No dividend.

Shareholders are already getting 75% free cashflow. Meaningful share buybacks compress the multiple and drive the rerating. $20 target in 1 year, $26 in 2 years, so upside of 50-90%.

Some of the highest-quality Montney acreage. Oily, nat gas exposure. Growing production by about 50%. Trades at a 15% forward free cashflow yield, 75% going to investors, expected to go to 100% (making a 22% free cashflow yield). His target price is $22.50. No dividend.

LNG Canada will be the next catalyst. Be patient. With Paramount as primary shareholder, concern that it could sell any day and drag share price down. He's the second-largest shareholder. 75% of free cashflow being used for buybacks. Target of $23, 78% potential upside.

Has done phenomenally since Covid. Management has done a great job buying assets. Holding it back now is a lot of natural gas in storage because less was used during this mild winter and Paramount owns a controlling block; so if Paramount does a deal, will they sell NVA? Metrics are good, though and are buying back stock. He targets $24 or 96% upside, but there's that overhang. No easy fix for managers.

Owns shares but has sold some due to strength. Free cash flow down a little. Expecting a ~$17 share price. Good for long term investors. Produce a lot of condensate. Strong company. Lots of natural gas exposure. LNG expansion will be good for company. 

Owns shares in company.
Prefers names with more exposure to oil.
Expecting 75% of free cash flow returned to shareholders going forward.
Good management team and reserves.
Higher exposure to gas.
