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.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate WCP, a top rated Canadian resource producer, as a TOP PICK. The company is growing its natural gas position in the prolific Montney area. It has benefitted as oil prices have rebounded back. It is valued at only 1.25x book. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 60% of cashflow. We continue to recommend $6.25 as a stop loss, looking to achieve $9.25 -- upside potential over 23%. Yield 2.48% (Analysts’ price target is $9.16)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A predominant oil play. Expecting government announcement on carbon capture and paying those who inject it. Could profit from this. Net zero carbon emitter in 2050. Trading at a bit of a premium. Some rumours of a coming acquisition.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 09/21, Up 41.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with WCP is progressing well. We now recommend trailing the stop (from $4.25) to $6.25. If triggered, this would all but guarantee a net investment return of 18%.
STRONG BUY
Excellent company. Recapture and take CO2 and inject it into the ground to recover more oil, which is very cool. Topaz transaction will let it pay down debt, increase dividend, and buy back shares. Will do well over the coming year.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Comfortable with taking a position in WCP. The success of this trade will be up to the sector in general however. If oil moves, the stock should outperform. The sector has been strong, but the future is not guaranteed. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK
Impression that there is a large investor that is selling. As soon as the selling is done, it could be rerated. Could see trading at a 6x multiple. Management should take advantage of the share price and start share buybacks. (Analysts’ price target is $8.97)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 18/20, Up 128%) Will be talking about it as a Top Pick. The stock has lagged for a while, probably due to a large share holder selling.
