Long-term story still intact. Challenge for nat gas is the Iran conflict -- US oil companies drilled more, which produced excess nat gas and depressed the price. The whole ecosystem has underperformed. Peace in the Iran conflict will be a positive.
Darren SissonsHe doesn't let the stock market dictate his conviction and concern level. He follows the fundamentals and earnings. How's the balance sheet? Are they raising the dividend? Most of it is daily noise, just ignore it (unless you're a daily trader). He urges the investor to own stocks for retirement, and not worry so much about the day-to-day.
Great business. A slam-dunk Buy here. Focus on the next 3-5 years. Thinks it'll double production over the next 5 years. Natural gas prices should be a lot higher.
A trade, not investment. The chart is rangebound from $58-68. Buy low, sell high.
(Analysts’ price target is $71.26)
Keith RichardsHigh quality name. Leader in natural gas in Canada. Very low cost operations, good drilling inventory in Western Canada. Long-term structural tailwinds from electrification, data centres, and power demand.
That said, it doesn't matter how strong the company or the balance sheet is, it can't escape weak commodity prices. And that's what we're facing right now. Stock's been sideways over past year, barely positive. 200-day MA flat. This name carries a bit of beta and volatility. Be cautious.
Instead, look at a more conservative and integrated name such as CNQ. Or move to the pipelines.
If owned he would switch to something else. He is critical of corporate strategy and the stock hasn't done much for the past few years. There is too much supply growth in natural gas so Tourmaline has cut its Capex growth going forward. It is very resource rich with decades of drilling inventory. Needs a better natural gas price.
Her firm's replacement for ARX. Below $60 is a good time to buy. Largest nat gas producer in Canada, low cost. Nat gas prices are very low right now, but she's very positive on them in future.
Rebecca TeltscherAbout 80% gas, 20% oil. One of the big 6 names in Canada. Widely held, and by lots of institutions. ARX is being taken out, so this name is the last one standing that's predominantly gas. Very well run. Trades ~7x cashflow, fairly valued, not a lot of upside. Fairly heavy capex program.
Not a huge fan of Canadian nat gas, as pricing in Western Canada is atrocious. He's more favourable to Canadian oil. Dividend is ~3.5%.
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 Caldwell
Not a core position for her, though some clients own it in their accounts. Stock's been quite volatile. Strong free cashflow, low debt. Secondary offering of $200M of TPZ shares recently is a positive. Street's price target is ~$67-77. Forward PE of 11x suggests it's undervalued. Potential infrastructure expansion could drive future growth.
Has done well despite commodity price volatility. Trading below 50-day and 200-day MAs, RSI is near neutral. Support around $59. Insiders are really accumulating, as are institutions. Attractive for value investors.
She prefers CNQ and ENB.
