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.
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.
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 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.
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.
