As of Jul 17, 2026. Market Open.
You might be interested:
Iran conflict prompted a lot of natural gas drilling in the US, and so the price collapsed. LNG Canada allows exports to higher-priced markets in Asia. New floating gasification plants will also add capacity. More upside. (You could take some of your oil profits and redeploy into gas names, which look really cheap.)
Darren SissonsHer replacement for ARX, which is being bought by SHEL. Lots of upside with potential LNG expansion. Real disruption of supply with the Strait of Hormuz. Other countries are looking to our safe jurisdiction.
Good management team, great assets. Yield is 3.28%.
Rebecca TeltscherIt's the biggest Canadian natural gas driller, but hasn't benefited from the US-Iran war, because North American nat gas prices have held (can't ship it abroad). TOU is managed well. They're building their infrastructure to lower the cost of the gas fields and this coincides with higher nat gas prices. Free cash flows will spike as capex falls and LNG contracts kick in.
(Analysts’ price target is $70.72)
The best-run natural gas play in Canada. The stock is volatile, so you can trade it.
Bruce MurrayPaying you really well to wait. At the time, he bought it for the nat gas market finally turning; all those catalysts are still in place. Still cheaper than it ought to be. Not an "if" story, just a matter of time. Sit and enjoy your dividend; will start to work probably in the not-too-distant future.
Greg NewmanAll energy stocks have come off because we've had (cynically) a "peace scare" in the Middle East. This company's big thing is natural gas, and he likes that. Energy sector will continue to be robust.
Also likes, and owns, CVE and PPL.
Brendan CaldwellThe US-Iran war changed the LNG world, given the Strait of Hormuz closure. This gives Canada a huge opportunity. TOU already supplies US producers.
(Analysts’ price target is $71.84)
Ryan BushellHe likes energy stocks. It's rangebound between $58 to nearly $70. So buy and sell at the bottom and top of this range. He collects the dividend.
Keith RichardsNever discount the important of dividends to your total return! Underwhelming, while a lot of other energy stocks have really taken off. Has "oil" in its name, but it's actually Canada's largest nat gas producer. SHEL acquisition of ARX was a watershed moment in the Canadian oil patch and, in particular, nat gas.
Still grossly undervalued.
Brian MaddenExporting through LNG Canada to capture Asian pricing for nat gas is going to be big.
Darren SissonsLike both, but TOU has been sideways, because they are investing in capex, but turning back to shareholder returns. So, TOU should return to vogue. TVE has been a tear lately but trades at 11x forward PE with good growth. TVE will be a little more volatile.
He bought at the bottom of their range and sold at the top. Many times this has broken out, many times it has failed to sustain that. The blockage of oil in the Middle East effects everyone. He would sell shares soon.
Keith Richards
He is light on the energy side. With $70 crude the energy sector will get better. As a sector these stocks are pretty cheap if we knew where crude and gas are going to be. There could be money flow into the sector if we knew where crude could move to. We need the infrastructure to come into place.
