This summary was created by AI, based on 14 opinions in the last 12 months.

Vermilion Energy Inc (VET-T) has received mixed reviews from analysts. While some see potential for growth due to increasing demand for natural gas in Europe and a disciplined management team, others consider it a value trap lacking catalysts. The company is working on consolidating its geographical exposure, with a focus on its operations in Canada and Western Europe, particularly in light of Europe's energy challenges post-conflict in Ukraine. Some experts highlight the firm's strong cash flow return and dividend payouts, while cautioning about the volatility associated with geopolitical factors impacting energy prices. Overall, while there are positive indicators, most experts suggest caution and strategic planning for exits in the context of market fluctuations.

RISKY

About 66% of production lies outside Canada. It's trading cheaper than historically. He sees cash flow per share growth. Safe dividend. Good balance sheet. Market didn't like their last quarter because of weakness/concerns in the Caribbean and European operations. They made some acquisitions that'll benefit them. Buy if you feel oil will top $60-70.

TOP PICK
The 8.4% dividend that is secure. This is a very, very cheap stock. The dividend allows lots of time to resolve all the issues. (Analysts’ price target is $52.53)
WAIT
He likes the management team and kudos to them for “stealing” Sparton. They are predominantly international. It trades at a premium multiple. You want to put your money where you will have outsized returns. Vermilion does not fall into this criteria for him. He is looking at other names.
BUY
If you believe commodities are oversold, then these stocks may have a quick run. It’s so beat up, this is really cheap. If he didn’t own it, he’d buy. Really appetizing if you think crude’s going to hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 02/18, Down 23%) Vermilion acquired Sparton so SPE is no longer listed. She acquired Vermilion stock on the acquisition. Vermillion is down about 20% since the acquisition. Still owns Vermilion stock.
DON'T BUY
There is a strong value but it broke technically. There is a lot of concern about the quality of the assets. Yield is 8.9%. He prefers other names to this. He is worried about the yield. With oil at $59, this will decrease their cash flow.
BUY
It pays a good, safe, dividend. A great deal of its assets are in Europe. Investors don't like that they made an acquisition of a company with a lot of assets in Saskatchewan.
COMMENT

Has long owned this, one of the few oils he has. Money isn't flowing into this sector, but leaving. Oil needs to find buyers. It's not a good sign when Canadian companies seek opportunities in the U.S. It says a lot about Alberta. Vermillion has 60% of its earnings outside Canada and fetches international prices. It's unfortunate, the state of Canadian oil.

SELL
He would not own this one. It pays out $2.76 in dividends and is earning $0.78 – not a good business strategy. The downside risk is $25 per share. This could become another CPG-T, especially with today’s price sell off. He would sell here. (Analysts’ price target is $53)
BUY
Has owned for quite a while. Has been underweight Canadian energy. Likes to own foreign energy companies and VET is really a foreign company, mostly in Europe, getting Brent prices. Dividend of 8% is safe, as part of his cash flow strategy. Sees upside of $55.
WAIT

Another tough day today. They purchased some assets from Sparton and the market has penalized them for that. The sector as a whole is getting beaten up. It is a good company. If you are looking for income, you probably don’t want to look at the energy sector. If you have a time horizon of a couple of years, should be good but there could still be some price decrease.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick Sept. 13, 2017, Down 8%) They recently bought Spartan Energy, so how will they integrate it? Their margins have been squeezed. Their plans to expand German assets has been delayed a bit. The share price has fall to the point where they pay a 7.3% dividend which is safe. He still believes highly in Vermillion.

BUY

It is an international company with assets all over the world essentially. Likes the Management team. Decent dividend yield higher than 7%.

TOP PICK

He bought this in 2016. A well diversified company and very well run. He thinks Brent pricing is going to go higher and Vermilion will benefit from that. A lot of upside to this company. Yield = 7.22% (Analysts’ price target is $55.75)

HOLD

Energy is a big long-term cyclical. He is not bullish on energy long-term with a lot of new potential supply. One of the better companies and it is fine to hold. One of the most secure holdings in the sector with a good track record.
