Peyto Exploration & Development (symbol: PEY-T) is viewed positively by various experts, particularly in the context of natural gas investments. Many analysts appreciate its solid operational track record and commend management for effective acquisitions and a strong dividend yield, which is currently around 5.5% to 7%. There is a consensus that while the stock may experience short-term volatility due to natural gas price trends, the long-term outlook remains favorable, especially if political constraints on Canadian energy resources ease. As natural gas is considered a critical transitional fuel, many view the company as well-positioned for growth in the next few years, with analysts’ price targets suggesting considerable upside potential. However, opinions vary regarding whether to buy now or wait for a better entry point, with some experts suggesting caution due to potential overvaluation at current levels.
He thinks natural gas will be the energy of the future. He is not an energy expert. He has gone with Peyto. Consider taking small positions when there are big market down days. But they must be good companies that will survive. 7 out of 10 of these companies may go under. Think of them as call options.
They produce 96% natural gas, trying to diversify. They're the lowest-cost operator in North America, but drilling is uneconimical now. LNG is a long way off. Avoid this.
Natural gas is a dirty word today. As a contrarian, he likes the yield but wonders if it is sustainable. They have a good management team. At some point there will be demand for Canadian natural gas – west coast LNG could be a catalyst. He thinks there are other energy names, but he continues to watch it. Yield 6.8%.
This company is well managed. It is a low cost operator. Its price has come down enormously. Its dividend has been cut, but it offers a 72 cent dividend on a price (on day of interview) of $10.78. The company’s problem is its debt load, which has been rising. It is now $1.285 billion, up from $1.07, against $1.72 billion in equity. It is not good to have rising debt in a declining commodity market. Book value is $10.44. If he is right that oil prices will come down, the stock could go down significantly further, past $8 or beyond. At $8, the yield would be fabulous. He doesn’t cover the name because of the balance sheet issues.
