This summary was created by AI, based on 41 opinions in the last 12 months.

Whitecap Resources (WCP) is generally viewed positively by analysts following its successful acquisition of Veren Energy (VRN), significantly expanding its production capacity and assets in the Montney and Duvernay regions. Many experts highlight that the company is well-managed and has a sustainable dividend yield, providing a solid return on capital. Opinions on pricing strategies and stock performance indicate a consensus that while the stock may reach new highs, there are concerns about the overall oil market direction, with most experts suggesting that current prices may decline. Despite volatility in oil prices, the WCP's fundamentals, including its strong cash flow and operational efficiency, position it favorably among Canadian oil producers, making it an attractive hold for income-focused investors.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 16/12. Up 68.08%.) This recommendation was based that they would be converting to a dividend paying company which they did. If you are looking for dividend yield this is one of the most sustainable models.

BUY

Chart shows an upward trend from mid-2012 and the price has come back to the trend line. Nothing wrong with this chart. 5.9% dividend.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Big weighting for him. It ticks all the boxes for an up and coming dividend payer. A favourite.

PAST TOP PICK

(Since Sept. 2012, up 45.16 %) Well known management team that has been successful over time and they know how to find gas and manage the wealth. Issued a dividend six months ago.

BUY

A resource that was a pretty decent story. Never argue with the trend. This chart looks good. The only point of danger is that it is reaching the previous high. Something has to push it through that. If it fails, it could be the sign of a top. 5.7% yield.

BUY

Good growth. Has a good balance sheet and is not over distributing. Yield of 6.3%. This would be a reasonable entry point.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Sold his holdings about a month ago at $9.50. Wait for a bit more of a pullback before buying. Very sustainable business model.

BUY

Great example of brilliant execution but it has the support of a very healthy dividend yield and he thinks there is a strong argument to see the dividend growth coming out. Of all the dividend players, he would rank this as #2. Has one of the lowest, if not the lowest payout ratios in the sector. Tremendous assets in the Cardium as well as exposure to the fabulous Montney play in Northeast BC and western Alberta. Below $10 it is a pretty good buy. (See Top Picks.)

TOP PICK

Oil/gas exploration in Western Canada. Strong player in west central Saskatchewan especially in the Dogsland Viking area. Also, in the west central Alberta area with Pembina (PPL-T) which is Cardium gas. Also, an active hedger and lock in their net backs. Dividend yield of 6.11%. Cheap at 4.7X 2013 cash flow. Payout ratio is under 100%.

PARTIAL BUY

Very good story. Management is very focused on costs and returning capital. Quarter after quarter they have been beating and exceeding expectations. If there were a yield play she would want in the smaller cap space, it would be this one. The only knock against it is that it is currently yielding about 6.5%, which is lower than Crescent Point (CPG-T). With oil coming down, it might be a buy at a slightly lower level but you could pick some up at this point and by more as time goes on..

BUY

Great cash flow generator. One of the few high income oil/gas companies that actually has a payout ratio, including CapX, of less than 100%. Price target of $11 is very much achievable. Very nice yield of about 6%..

BUY

Likes what management is doing. They are growing internally only. Has a $12 target. 6% dividend.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

One of the new dividend payers. Looks pretty good on its payout ratios and operationally. Prefers buying this below $9. Good for dividend portfolios. 6.4% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 9/12, Up 16.02%)

BUY

A reasonably good stock. Feels the dividend is safe. Has a pretty clean balance sheet. Growth rate in production has been good.
