Vermilion Energy Inc (VET-T) has received mixed reviews from various experts, with some expressing cautious optimism while others are more critical. The company's strategy to consolidate operations and focus more on its international presence, particularly in Western Europe, is noted, highlighting the growing demand for natural gas in the continent amidst geopolitical tensions. Analysts acknowledge the disciplined management team's efforts to return value to shareholders, evidenced by a solid dividend yield and free cash flow. However, there are concerns regarding the company's past struggles, geographic spread, and the need for a clearer exit strategy given the volatile nature of gas prices influenced by regional factors. Many agree that while VET has potential, it might not be the best long-term hold, suggesting an awareness of the broader market dynamics at play and cautioning against overexposure.

TOU

TOP PICK

Hasn't moved like its peers. Number of disappointments including sale of Verenex (VNX-T) and its Libyan assets. Also a small problem in the Irish Sea, which they will remedy. Undervalued.

BUY

Fairly significant international portfolio so distributions are not affected by conversion. Oil/gas exposure is 50/50 that their oil is priced more favourably. Very low pay out ratio. Recently made an acquisition offshore Ireland, which is a very good investment and will begin to yield dividends over the next couple of years. 7.5% yield.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 24/09. Down 4%.) Strong balance sheet. Just completed $250 million finance. 18.5% non-working interest in an Irish offshore gas project. 70% of revenue generated is outside of Canada so when they change to a corporate in 2011 they should be able to maintain the current distribution as a dividend. Looking for $30-$35 depending on commodity prices.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) You can consider this as a core holding. Extremely well managed and internationally diversified. One of the best in the group.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 2/09. Up 40%.) Good diversification with production from France, Netherlands and Australia. Distribution will probably be maintained because they are paying taxes outside of North America.

BUY

With this one you don't have to worry about 2011 because most of their properties are outside of Canada. Their property in Ireland should be on in 2011 at 10,000 barrels. Thinks 7.6% distribution is safe.

TOP PICK

Never cut distributions when oil pulled back. Their asset base is diversified and they just made an interesting acquisition in Ireland in nat. gas. Management team is solid. Payout ratio is reasonably good. They make acquisitions at the right time in the market.

TOP PICK

Very oil weighted. Likes the balance sheet and has a diversified portfolio of international assets. About 70% of the cash flow is generated from outside of Canada. Low payout and expects the distribution to be very solid and will continue after 2011. With the sale of Verenex (VNX-T) there are some good opportunities looking forward.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) It’s inexpensive because it was weighed down by a sale.

TOP PICK

Mainly oil but some gas exposure in the Netherlands, which is priced as a function of oil so it gets full value. Hasn't gone up as much as some of its peers. Some difficulty with sale of a Libyan subsidiary, which appears to be stalled out for a while but will create some value down the road. Well run. 7.7% distribution is sustainable.

TOP PICK

Focused more internationally including Australia, Netherlands and most recently Ireland. Planning on converting in Sept/10 and maintaining the same level of distribution. Sale of Libyan assets fell through and the market overreacted. 7.8% yield.

HOLD

Oil/gas trust. Most of its assets are outside of Canada and he likes the geographic diversity. Quality company that has made some very good acquisitions and discoveries. Good long-term hold.

COMMENT

Good management. Trying to sell their Libyan assets.

TOP PICK

Oil/gas. Results just came out and were very good. Internationally oriented with properties in Paris, Netherlands and most recently in Ireland. Very well managed. Trying to sell a Libyan property, which will reduce their debt to very low levels. Good distribution.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 18/08. Down 21%.) Still likes.
