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)

Stock trading at ~2x free cash flow yield & 30% cash flow yield ($100 oil).

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.

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.

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.
