Good management and track record. They focus on LNG in the deep basin of Alberta. He's bullish energy. Are in the middle of a parabolic move. Benefits from nat gas paving the energy transition into renewables. The new LNG terminal can ship Canadian LNG internationally.
(Analysts’ price target is $35.38)His first natural gas recommendation in ages. It will be a long, strategic holding. Based on $4 natural gas next year, this will be the least expensive North American stock. The CEO owns 45% of the company and he's methodically about M&A. Without recent acquisitions, they'd be debt free. He hopes they buy a countercyclical buy in gas. Maybe they can. Are not buying back shares, but growing production 10% annually. Pays a 4% dividend. Projects 72% upside.
(Analysts’ price target is $36.45)
Has a lot of respect for the family behind this company. This business is predicated upon higher commodity prices than what we see today. The goal for a commodity business is for them to get stronger through a downturn, not having to sell one of their best assets. Doesn’t think they proactively manage their balance sheet, but made some decisions around facilities and infrastructure, that if oil had stayed at $100, it would have looked really smart. With oil at $30, it almost cost them their legacy.
