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.
Delphi (DEE-T) or Tourmaline (TOU-T)? This is the benchmark in the industry. Management team has a well-known track record of building companies to a big level, and then selling them. He would prefer this one because it has more exposure to the play that he really likes, the Montney in Northeast BC and North-Western Alberta.
Got lower prices on natural gas liquids than people were expecting, which pulled the stock down. This lowered the cash flow, but production was pretty much in line with what people were looking at. A very, very well run company. A pullback like this, could almost be looked at as an opportunity. Very good management.
A core position. One of the hardest things to do in investing is to stay with a winning position. We are in a great market right now for energy. He doesn’t sell in May and go away. Believes there is upside in this group. Great growth and great geographical location and a good dividend. It might take a breather in here. He would continue to buy.
(Top Pick Apr 17/13, Up 49.31%) Beneficiary of extraordinary success through the drill bit and strength in Canadian Nat Gas pricing. They are 50% exposed and the rest is hedged. More cash flow means more money to spend and it will lead to a higher multiple. Great management team with heavy ownership and the commodity is helping them out now as well.
Cash flow is going to double this year. That is huge. They have found new ways to tweak old reservoirs through pad drilling, new science, and fracking. They are targeting formations where there is a lot of condensate which is very valuable. This company has a growing production from condensate. Only 10 times cash flow. It is cheap.
A great company. Has pulled back along with all the other gas stocks, even the good ones. Any kind of non-6 week view, to get us to Labour Day, when we may start to see forecasts for colder weather, and see what the October Futures look like, he thinks the stocks recover and this is a buying opportunity.
