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.
He always thinks in terms of a 3-5 year hold, so getting out and back in is a tough timing question. Unique opportunity to play in the Canadian resource market. At the front of the pipe, a huge advantage. Canadian oil stocks are, globally, cheap; nobody likes them.
He wouldn't recommend selling any oil stocks because, even at $77 oil or nat gas at $2, it's low and that's why the stocks are down. The beauty about commodity stocks is that a low commodity price results in a higher commodity price sometime down the road.
Hold, and you'll be fine 3-5 years from now.
Price of nat gas is very volatile, and TOU can't control that. It can only control drilling and what it buys. CEO continues to buy more shares for himself. He likes investing alongside those who know and love a company the best.
Hard to tell outlook for natural gas, but he expects more nat gas infrastructure to be built in Canada and NA. Expects weather to normalize. He prefers the safer plays in oil & gas, rather than small caps or junior companies.
Best managers in the business. Minimal debt. Pays a small dividend but will issue special ones depending on the oil price -- likes this. They got their toe in the water early in LNG. Smart. The outlook for natural gas has been tough in recent years, but looks better ahead as the transition to green energy takes longer.
One of the highest-quality names you can buy to get access to a bullish natural gas outlook for 2025. He has about a 5% weighting. Provides ballast to a portfolio to counteract volatility of smaller names.
Rock star CEO, very good management team, huge inside ownership, decades and decades of drilling inventory, very good gas marketing teams. 9.2% free cashflow yield. Target of $93, or 36% upside.
"Regular" dividends are 30c quarterly, for a yield of 1.7%. However, TOU pays a special dividend approximately every four months as well, and we have tried to capture that in the yield, as it has done this for four years in a row and intends to keep doing so. In the past year TOU has paid special dividends of 50 cents (March 2024), $1.00 (November 2023), $1.00 (August 2023) and $1.50 (May 2023).

Largest natural gas producer in Canada. Shares volatile, fluctuating with the shares of nat gas. Now on a rebound. Key to the story is management, has done a good job and owns lots of shares. Balance sheet flush with cash, picked up assets at discount. Profitable at $1.50 gas, and gas is above that. Known for its special dividends. Yield's around 3.5%, often gets close to 10% with the special dividends. Hold now, buy more on weakness.
Loves both, and recently put money into both. Especially TOU, a very slightly better opportunity. Will continue to deliver consistent earnings growth, especially if maintains its strong cashflow growth. Add on weakness, but keep in mind that it has volatility, so a 5% or less position.
Reasonable debt levels, payout ratios are fine, solid recent results.
