TOP PICK
He is starting to like the fundamentals. This is the most conservative way to play the oil space. You can buy this to be defensive. (Analysts’ price target is $53.65)
TOP PICK
This is a cash machine. You want to own companies that can generate free cash. They increased their dividend. Last quarter results were a little disappointing but was just a short term thing. With the cash generated, they increase the dividends and buy back shares. Yield = 3.69% (Analysts’ price target is $53.44)
BUY
They have lots of growth fairway. They are a low cost operator. It would be a buy under $40. They are generating a lot of free cash flow. It could be a $50-$60 stock a couple of years from now.
BUY
Encana vs. Suncor He prefers Suncor for its stability. Oil stocks are oversold and can rise higher. Q2 should be good for SU.
TOP PICK
Buy this when you're bullish oil, then sell to take gains. He sees decent upside in oil to $70/barrel within the next 12 months. Pays a decent dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $53.47)
COMMENT
He's not bullish oil/gas, because the world is moving quickly to greener energy. A company like Suncor can diversify into green and companies that diversify will survive. He'd sell a covered call at a little higher strike price on SU. Takes some cash. The options are good and the market is liquid.
WEAK BUY
If you hold any energy stock, this is the one. He does own it. He sees about a 36% upside for the stock, so he would be a buyer -- although the would target $36 for an entry.
TOP PICK
Within seasonality for oil through the spring into the driving season. We're seeing that now. Gas demand is stronger than usual this year and should eat away at the oil overhang. SU's seasonality is January to May, and it's starting to move up after recently bottoming. (Analysts’ price target is $53.26)
TOP PICK
It sold off into a huge support line and has held. It's poised to bounce (has started to). He expects a good period for oil for the next 2-3 months. (Analysts’ price target is $52.87)
HOLD
So little interest in the sector, but 70% of the index is in 7 names and Suncor is the largest. No fund manager would ever be fired for holding Suncor. The new CEO is liked by the street. It is a free cash flow story and share buybacks. If you are bullish on oil going forward, this is not the one to one -- there are higher beta names out there.
BUY
A premiere holding in the Canadian energy space and a core holding. They are now over the big capex spend for the Fort Hills project and now should benefit from free cash-flow for the next few years. He likes where they are positioned. They are more expensive than others and he likes the growing dividend. You buy this and tuck it away.
TOP PICK
If oil recovers this one will give you less torque. But when oil recovers this is the one people will flock to. He likes it because of its hedged position. It sells to the US refineries. It is a cash machine. This company generates a lot of cash flow. It goes to debt, share buy backs, dividends and some to operations. (Analysts’ price target is $56.56)
COMMENT
A fundamental fund manager would want to get back in if it's earning money, and the PE will be higher in 5 years. They wouldn't worry about the 200-day moving average, which he does.
BUY
He's watching it. Likes it. They are hedged because they have their own refinery capacity. Good buy at this price.
COMMENT
Steady income? He thinks the recent budget for SU-T showing production growth with refining assets makes them pretty stable. He thinks there are lots of others that will recover much quicker -- like Cenovus (CVE-T). Yield 3.6%
