TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly During this period of continued energy security concerns, we again reiterate WCP as a TOP PICK. Management has executed a $2 billion strategic acquisition strategy, which it expects will improve profitability and sustainability and has allowed it to reach record production. Strong cash flow has allowed buyback of 24 million shares and a 58% increase in the dividend. It trades at 3x earnings compared to peers at 5x and is valued under 2x book. It pays a good dividend backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop from $8.00 to $8.75, looking to achieve $13 - over 28% upside potential. Yield 2.71% (Analysts’ price target is $12.92)

BUY

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly During this period of energy security concerns, we again reiterate WCP as a TOP PICK. It is well positioned with its growing base in the Montney. It trades at 4x earnings compared to peers at 7x and is valued under 2x book. It pays a good dividend backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop from $7 to $8, looking to achieve $13 - over 20% upside potential. Yield 2.66% (Analysts’ price target is $13.00)

BUY

Stock trading at ~2x free cash flow yield & 30% cash flow yield ($100 oil). Increasing dividend and paying down debt. 5x multiple would imply a ~$20 share price. Good company that is presenting great opportunity to buy.

BUY

Second-tier. Benefitting from commodity cycle. Great recovery so far, but these stocks are still relatively inexpensive. He owns ARX, but WCP could easily have been a comparable. Enthusiasm for energy is just starting. Anticipates an easy 50% out of these Canadian mid-cap producers.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 27/22, Up 23.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with WCP has achieved its $9.00 target. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $6.50) to $7.00.

BUY

Has been buying company shares recently. Thinks share price is undervalued. Above average reserves (long shelf life). Company has been buying back stock and paying down debt. At $80 oil, believes share price should be $15 (2.9x cash flow. 20% free cash flow yield). At $100 oil, company should trade at $20/share.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate this top rated Canadian resource producer as a TOP PICK. The company is growing its natural gas position in the prolific Montney area and has benefited as oil prices have rebounded back. It is valued at only 1.5x book. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 10% of cashflow. We recommend trailing up the stop to $6.50 (from $6.25), looking to achieve $10.75 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 3.17% (Analysts’ price target is $10.75)

HOLD

Great run in oil prices. Oil stocks have been strong. Where do we go from here? Oil prices reflect maximum concern, but could go higher with geopolitical conflict. Otherwise, we're out over our skis in terms of supply/demand fundamentals. Stock should continue to perform. Share price will moderate from here, even pull back. See his Top Picks.

BUY

Sees growth here. Likes it. Doesn't own, but he would. Raising dividend, free cashflow, finding opportunities for growth. In the Top 10 in oil and gas.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 20/21, Up 104%) 21% free cash flow yield, and have committed to return a decent amount to shareholders. Injecting CO2 which is the biggest project in Canada. Waiting for framework on government on how producers can become net zero emitters.

BUY

Good position for light oil. One of the stronger players in the sector. Don't go short, that's for sure. Balance sheet's in good shape. Acquisitions well timed and accretive. Stock's come a long way, but still only halfway there given where oil is.
