Analysts generally highlight strong management and commend the company's approach to capital allocation, focusing on infrastructure and future growth.

Natural gas performs well from March to June.
Not seeing performance this year.
Would own shares for the short term.
Very strong company.

BUY

Largest natural gas producer in the country. Key to the story is the management team. Fortuitously sold assets before pandemic to stockpile cash and acquire cheap assets. Shares down 30% from highs, in sympathy with price of gas. Profitable at $1.50 gas. High quality. Special dividends. Strong operating group. Buy for the long term.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

TOU reported free cash flow of $2.7 billion in 2022 and it is expected to produce another $2.0 billion this year.  It trades at 1.5x book and supports a 35% ROE.  The company has reduced debt to its targeted levels and has announced at least 50% of surplus cash flow will be distributed to shareholders thru special dividends.  80% of its revenues come from natural gas prices, which have no where to go but higher as the year progresses.   The company just announced a 5 year partnership to be involved in the the commissioning of 20 compressed natural gas stations in Western Canada.  We recommend placing a stop loss at $53, looking to achieve $84 -- upside potential of 35%.  Yield 1.4%  

(Analysts’ price target is $84.14)
PARTIAL BUY

Prefers this to VET. Likes natural gas in Canada, but don't hold a lot of these stocks, because things can change suddenly with these commodities. Remember 2014 when things change dramatically? Pays a good dividend that grows. He owns 10% in raw oil and gas producers, while 20-25% is too high. TOU is good, but he own Arc Resources.

TOP PICK

He met with management last week in Toronto. They have 75 years of inventory which is not all booked yet. It is Canada's largest natural gas producer and fourth largest conventional liquid producer and owns most of its infrastructure. He anticipates special dividends of maybe 5% which could bring the total yield to around 9%. It is $20 below where it should be. Natural gas has a better outlook especially in 2025. Investors have switched from gas to oil but they will come back.     Buy 14   Hold 0   Sell 0

BUY

Great company, great operators. It's checked back, and he'd be buying. Thinks it will continue to pay out the special dividend because they're generating excess free cashflow. Great balance sheet. In nat gas names, TOU and ARX are the top 2.

Unspecified

The oil and gas companies were the best performers in 2022 and are now the worst performers. Tourmaline is the fifth largest natural gas producer in North America and probably the largest in Canada, with some of the best assets. It has a superstar CEO who has built other companies successfully and is buying stock in the company. The question is can a company grow production per share and can it keep the cost of production low. Tourmaline can do both. Has a great balance sheet and is at a good valuation.

BUY
LNG for the long run.

Largest natural gas producer in Canada. One of the top 5 in NA. Selling over 20% of production outside Canada. 

BUY

Dividend paying company.
Owns shares in the company.
Good time to buy.

BUY

Natural gas prices weighing on the company.
Best in class operator.
Very strong management team.
Excellent prospects going forward.
Very strong asset base.
Very strong management team.
Cheap valuation. 
5% production growth. 

BUY

A top oil company and winner. Up 220% over 5 years. Stick with it if you are bullish in oil prices.

Unspecified

He has owned it but has concerns about the natural gas sector. Since he is not yet seeing a recovery in gas stocks, he is not buying at this time. Prefers oil.

WEAK BUY

He got nervous on nat gas stocks last year, so he took profits. Stocks have now checked back. He's more likely to add at this point. One of the greatest operators out there. Great acquisitions plus internal growth. Be a bit worried about a pure nat gas player, as there's no shortage of nat gas in NA. If he were to add right now, they'd be more purely oil-levered plays.

TOP PICK

Canada's top natural gas producer and is performing better than nat gas. Also is the largest processor of nat gas. Good geographic exposure--from the Montney, Deep River and Peace River. Earnings are growing at double-digits despite nat gas prices falling sharply. Are good at getting nat gas to market at good prices. Trades at 4x cash flow. Pullback in shares is good to buy.

(Analysts’ price target is $92.00)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 29/22, Down 16%)

Natural gas selloff has impacted share price.
Cumulative dividends equate to ~13% yield.
Will continue to own shares. 
Would argue a very good time to buy shares.
