Stock price when the opinion was issued
He sold off a bunch of energy names, but retained this one. Concerns about global recession is hitting energy names. He's in the camp of too early to think about a recession, and tariffs will look very different 6-12 months from now. If we see there's no recession, things can turn around quickly.
200-day and 200-week MAs still moving higher, a good sign. Right at 200-week MA today, and that can be massive long-term support for most stocks. If you own, don't sell. If wanting to buy, this might be your chance to look at it. Yield is 5%.
He likes the big integrated names, but doesn't own any oil producers now. His team deemed that group as having first-derivative vulnerability to tariffs on volumes and profitability. Premium brand in the space. He's waiting out some of the volatility on the price of oil before getting back in. Nice dividend.
Seeing better pricing on crude products from Western Canada, a game-changer for a stock like this. Balance sheet can withstand shocks. Starting to see realistic moves by Canada to open other export markets for energy. Trading at extremely low valuations, time to start picking away at it for the long term. Yield is 4.61%.
(Analysts’ price target is $59.78)Has made tremendous strides over the last couple of years. BMO's report on insider buying shows highest level in last 5 years, and that speaks volumes. Timing is quite good, with oil showing resistance at $60. Very healthy at under 1x debt to EBITDA.
Look beyond 2025, when tariffs will have been resolved. Energy should bypass a lot of that because of how strategic it is, so we're not going to see a 50% tariff.
She likes it. Pay attention to free cash flow yield in integrated companies. Current projects will bring in some lumpy growth. She is looking for them to increase dividends and buy back shares. It ranks really well globally.
