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.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly WCP is a top rated Canadian resource producer, producing 80,000 bpd of oil, another 11,000 bpd of NGLs, and is growing its natural gas position in the prolific Montney area. It has benefitted as oil prices have rebounded back towards more sustainable levels. It trades at 7x earnings compared to peers at 24x and is valued presently at 1.6x book. It pays a great dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 30% of cashflow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $4.25, looking to achieve $8.25 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 3.22% (Analysts’ price target is $8.13)

BUY

He likes it. Light oil and good management. They grew organically as well as through acquisitions. They generate a lot of cash flow. They should buy back their own stock or invest in renewable. They are reflecting a $50 oil price. He likes the sector.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The company has had record production and increased production guidance. There is no increase in capital expenditure. Payout ratio is 26%.The fundamentals are in the right direction. The valuation is low and fundamentals point to a buy. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 06/20, Up 135%) The name has done well. Still miss-priced, as is the sector. Emerged from the challenging environment last year and ended up coming out of it better. Dividends have increased. Trading at 2.6x cashflow. The old multiples were 7-8 multiples. Net zero emitter so it ticks the ESG box.

STRONG BUY

Like Cenovus and Arc, they had a busy 2020. WCP became the largest intermediate oil producer in western Canada. They're using carbon capture at their Weyburn unit and they may apply that clean tech to other facilities, maybe to generate revenue. It trades at a premium, because it's so well-run, low-cost, solid balance sheet with tremendous cash flow. They are aggressively reducing debt. Last year, they bought TORC Oil, a perfect merger in terms of balance sheet and assets. Buying NAL Resources was also strategic long-term. WCP is a top-tier oil producer. Boasts a strong balance sheet, so he expects them to keep paying down debt with their strong cash flow. Expects more tuck-in acquisitions to be the biggest player in this space.
