Precision Drilling (PD-T) is poised to capitalize on the increasing activity within the oil sector, with expectations of a 5-10% increase in pricing leading into 2027. Experts highlight that the company operates exceptionally well and is seen as a strong player among pure play oil producers, suggesting that they will potentially see the most significant gains in the current climate. The recent rally in the stock may be influenced by positive developments like the sanctioning of LNG Canada, and the company has successfully met its debt targets, enabling it to redistribute 50% of its capital back to shareholders. With a compelling free cash flow yield of around 20% projected for the upcoming year, Precision Drilling is actively buying back approximately 10% of its shares, indicating bullish sentiment. While there are positive indicators and growth outlooks tied to US natural gas demand, some experts suggest that service stocks are currently not at the right entry point despite favorable spreadsheet projections.

BUY

Feels there is upside on the stock. Earnings are good. Trades at a discount to the big 3 in the US. Their international division shows a lot of promise. Reasonably priced on earnings.

Will probably peak out at around $75-$80. Will continue to be busy.

Oil service companies is one of their favourite ways of participating in the oil/gas sector. A premier company. Fully priced at 15 X earnings.
