Ovintiv (OVV) has garnered attention for its solid operational performance, particularly within the Montney and Permian basins. Analysts highlight a strong free cash flow generation, projected at over $1.65 billion, with a yield between 1.96% and 2.8%. The company is actively returning a substantial portion of its free cash flow to shareholders primarily through buybacks, while it reduces debt and builds cash reserves. Despite some recent fluctuations in stock price, the general sentiment remains positive, with potential for significant upside given the current oil prices and production outlook. Overall, the company is recognized for its prudent financial management and positive growth trajectory within critical North American oil and gas regions.
Are their Nova Scotia assets holding back share price? It's very much a U.S. company now and are doing well. They're one of the best producers in the Permian Basin. Has good growth ahead. Pays a modest dividend though the PE is reasonable. Their offshore Nova Scotia assets are hard to read.
VET vs OVV? They are both stocks he would not own. OVV participated well on expected index buying in the US, but they are no longer able to attract US investors based on their share price. It is a non-starter for sure. VET cut the dividend and they changed management, but it will be a long road. They can't sell assets to help reduce debt and they can't raise the dividend. They are in far too many geographical areas and he thinks they have lost focus.
The company thought they would attract passive US money from investors when the changed the name from Encana and re-located to the US. Now that it is down 65% this year, it is now below the threshold to be included in the passive index. There is now no reason to own this stock at all.
