Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU) is recognized as Canada’s largest natural gas producer, reflecting strong management and significant capital discipline. Experts express optimism regarding TOU’s strategic positioning, particularly as it expands access to Asian markets through LNG exports. However, there is consensus that the stock has been performing sideways amid heavy capital expenditures and fluctuating natural gas prices. While some analysts believe its long-term fundamentals remain sound, many suggest a cautious approach, with price targets hovering around $70-$76. Overall, the sentiment is mixed, with an inclination toward potential growth once natural gas demand tightens and infrastructure projects bear fruit.
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.
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.
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)
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
