Tamarack Valley EnergyTVE.TOBUYAug 25, 2025Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Nov 13, 2026. Market Open.
Unlike the Oil Sands, TVE is not allowed to book as many of their reserves upfront. You must invest to water flood, but as time goes on, the returns increase. Ask, what's the cash I'm getting in this quarter? And add atop that the reserves they're booking in that quarter. He expects the Clearwater deal to close.
(Note: Doesn't own, but he does own HWX and likes the upcoming merger.)
In oil sands, but not one of the major players. Merger consolidates 2 names in the region, should see a lot of cost savings. Merged entity will be a bigger player, grabbing more institutional attention. You can play the merger through either company.
Using water-flood technology to pick up production. Great growth, expecting 15% production growth in the next 6 months. Generates lots of cash. Recently increased dividend by 25%, increasing share buybacks.
International investors are coming back to Canada for energy. Foresees multiple expansion as well as pricing power. Yield is 1.19%.
Like both, but TOU has been sideways, because they are investing in capex, but turning back to shareholder returns. So, TOU should return to vogue. TVE has been a tear lately but trades at 11x forward PE with good growth. TVE will be a little more volatile. He expects oil to return to the $70s, but it will take time to clear the Strait of Hormuz.
TVE has reported record production and upped its production guidance for the year. It has also made a nice bolt-on acquisition and is seeing some broker target price upgrades. YTD return is now 14.6%. While it is not beyond possibility, we would not see the move due to a takeover. Much of the gain is due to company reasons and not necessarily correlated to pipeline stocks. We would remain comfortable as buyers.
