Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU), Canada's largest natural gas producer, is currently experiencing mixed reviews from analysts. While many highlight its strong management, solid fundamentals, and the strategic advantages from the LNG Canada project, concerns about capex spending and low prices for natural gas in Western Canada remain pertinent. Analysts express a cautious optimism, noting the potential for future price appreciation as LNG capacities ramp up. The stock has shown a consistent trading range, suggesting it may be a suitable buy at lower points within this range, but there is skepticism regarding near-term performance. The general sentiment reflects a waiting game as many investors anticipate stronger natural gas prices and believe that TOU will eventually benefit from long-term structural shifts in the energy market.
The oil prices are down from the $106 level to $91, but if you look at the two year futures, they are up on the year. If you look at the discount from the current price, it widened to 15% and is now back down to 3. Most of the correction is over. TOU-T is a great company. He did not buy it because it was new. CPG-T has had a history of buying up companies in their area that are doing well, so potentially could acquire TOU-T.
(A Top Pick Oct 8/13. Up 31.17%.) They continue to hit the ball out of the park. Will exit this year at about 150,000 barrels a day equivalent. They have a huge contiguous land with all kinds of different zones that they can build. 2016 will probably be at about 250,000 barrels a day. It always looks expensive. Strong management team. You can’t go wrong owning this kind of company. He would use this weakness as an opportunity to pick away at a great company at a very reasonable valuation.
Today it is just falling with the market. The energy patch is down today. Oil is down $1 today so fund managers are selling. Thinks they will have a great Q1 with production growth. It is his largest holding and the market is giving you a buying opportunity. They are a growth company now; by late 2016/17 he thinks they will have to decide whether to buy someone or pay a dividend, which he would prefer.
(Top Pick Aug 19/13, Up 34.01%) One of his largest holdings. They have a huge amount of acreage and the well results keep getting better and better and better. Great management teams can identify great acreage. Confident they will formalize a 20 rig program for next year. Huge inside ownership. Coming catalysts.
Tourmaline (TOU-T) or Paramount (POU-T)? This is a case where you have to choose the better of 2 good companies. They are both pretty good, but he would put this one far and away, as probably the best managed company in the oil/gas sector. Their forecasted growth is very much in the bag. Very visible over the next 3 or 4 years. They don’t pay a dividend.
If yield is what you are looking for, this does not pay a dividend. However, it has had tremendous growth and is extremely well-managed. Has been watching this for some time, but on a valuation perspective, it is just a little bit more expensive than what he would like to see. If it were to pull back about 10%, he would very definitely be interested in it.
(A Top Pick July 30/13. Up 33.13%.) His largest holding. A lot of natural gas stocks in the Montney have been unlocking a lot of value by getting better and better at drilling and containing the wells. A lot of this company’s wells are coming on stream at twice what they had budgeted. Thinks this has 40% upside from today’s levels, a $75 stock because their acreage just keeps getting better and better. They keep coming out with new plays. Have 10 years of high-grade inventory.
