Nuvista Energy Ltd (NVA-T) has garnered positive attention from analysts, who have noted its strong performance and growth potential. Several reviews highlight significant appreciation in stock prices, with previous Top Picks reporting up to 65% gains. Analysts express concern over its acquisition by Ovintiv Inc. (OVV), indicating that the takeover may have occurred at less than favorable market prices. Despite the takeover, experts emphasize Nuvista's robust inventory of high-quality resources and commitment to shareholder returns through buybacks. The company's strategic positioning in natural gas and condensate markets further adds to the positive outlook, although sentiments around the acquisition are mixed as some experts intend to oppose it.

Valuation

Pioneer, PXD

BUY

Energy sector has been preforming well the past 1-2 years (only posisitve sector this year). Well run company that is executing well in the Montney (British Columbia). Lower natural gas prices have not been reflected in share price of the company. Tremendous ability to generate cash flow. LNG expansion in Canada will be good for the business.

BUY

Believes is a good company Company has committed to return 50-75% of cash flow to investors. Expecting small amount of production growth. Trading at ~35% free cash flow yield. Expecting a $27 share price. Will continue to hold shares.

TOP PICK

Currently trading at ~1.5x cash flow & 38% free cash flow yield ($100 oil). Wells are paying out in months with Pipestone property. Bought 500,000 shares yesterday. Current share price presenting amazing value.

BUY

Building up volume now. Trading at 1.7x 2 year out cashflow. Owns it for this. The stock is probably worth 4x what it is right now. Does not pay a dividend.

BUY

A high quality small cap. Trading at 2.6x next year's cashflow. Free cashflow yield of 20% next year. As production ramps, the stock's fair multiple is 4x. So this could be a multi-bagger.

BUY

Had trimmed his position in the high $3 range. Bought back in around the same price. It is small but it is deep value. This is where the multi baggers are. While the market cap may be small, the asset base is good. Expects them to be massive returners of capital. Next year, could trade at 2.2x cashflow. Could initiate dividend and buyback.

BUY

Has been picking away at it around $2.05. Volume has dried out. A name that will bring online 12 wells with good expectations. The name could trade at 3x next year's cashflow. With incremental production, it is trading at 1.9 2 year out cashflow. Super inexpensive. Would buy this over Arc Resources.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 03/20, Up 252%) An example of a name that is up but still mis priced. A small cap so there are less buyers. A high quality company. Pursuing a growth mandate. Trading at 3.1x next year and would put a 4x multiple. Could still have 50% upside.

DON'T BUY

The stock has been underperforming. While most revenue comes from liquids, 60% production is weighted for natural gas. There will be production growth for condensates in the near future. The gas side has pulled this stock down. There are more clear names to go to first, and this would be more second tier.

COMMENT

They are running at a higher than average leveraged position. Their next maturity is 2023 so there is running room. The outlook for condensate is very positive. 30% free cash flow at $50 oil, and 53% free cashflow yield at $60.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 30/19, Down 58%) It's been lagging in the past months. He has been adding to it. They have drilled high quality wells in the property they acquired from Cenovus. There is a good potential to increase free cashflow in the next couple years.

DON'T BUY

It took a big haircut in earnings in the last 90 days, down 57% this year and a projected 20% in 2021. Cash flow will shrink this year but expected to grown next year, but still lags its peers. NVA is a reasonable speculation, but he sees a better play in natural gas names in the next 12 months, considered The Energy Trade of the Decade.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A three-year time horizon It's a liquids-rich natural gas story, moving more into the Montney. Nice production increase of 19% in Q1. The balance sheet and debt are an issue because of the oil price plunge during the pandemic. This could fall below 70 cents if WTI falls $10 which he expects. He also expects a tightening of the natural gas market in western Canada because of the lack of drilling plus increased demand from Transalta as it goes from coal to nat gas. There are lots of good reasons to own this for the next few years, but in the meantime, buy on pullbacks. This will do well if you have a long-term horizon.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 30/19, Down 44%) It has been a roller-coaster ride and he is still one of the top three holders of the stock. When oil returns to $60, sometime next year they will be strong again. They could be a candidate for consolidation in the space. If you are bullish on condensate pricing, there could be some great upside here. He continues to hold it as a large core holding.

DON'T BUY

An oil and gas producer. If you believe oil prices are going higher, then you should do okay. Analysts have cut cash flow estimates on this and there are likely better opportunities out there.
