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

Whitecap Resources (WCP-T) has received strong endorsements from various experts, who acknowledge the company's stability and potential for growth. Management is often praised for its operational excellence and strategic acquisitions, notably the merger with Veren Energy (VRN), which has significantly enhanced WCP's asset quality and scale in the Montney formation. Many analysts see the company as undervalued, with cash flow multiples below industry averages, and they appreciate its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends. However, there are concerns regarding future oil prices, linked to geopolitical developments, which could impact the stock's performance. Despite these uncertainties, many representatives believe WCP is well-positioned in the energy sector due to its strong asset base and growing production.

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.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 29/12. Up 2.29%.) Should be able to achieve some high single digit growth on the asset side in addition to receiving the 6.70% dividend. Good blend of growth and income. Assets in the Viking and Cardium pay back in 1-1.5 years. Modest debt. Adopted a three-year hedging program. 20%-29% upside is fairly achievable. An overhang in the near-term is an asset sale out of Barrick, which has one asset that would be a perfect fit for them, but would require financing.

BUY

One of the better dividend stocks in the sector. 1.8% dividend. 4th quarter production was at a record. As long as production continues to increase and with the dividend and growth it is one of the better plays in the sector.

TOP PICK

Has the most sustainable dividend model in Canada. Yield is 6. 47 %. From strictly cash flow, not using any debt, they can pay the yield and grow production by about 5%. Have a reserve life of over 14 years. Clean balance sheet at 1X debt to cash flow. Trading around 5.5X this year’s cash flow and could easily move up to 6X.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 9/12, Up 19.18%)

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Using a 7% valuation, it is pretty much like Crescent Point (CPG-T).

BUY

Nice run since mid 2012. There is another 10% before resistance. 6.24% yield.

TOP PICK

Recent conversion to a dividend company and there could be room to increase the dividend later this year. Their model firmly sustains a 5% growth rate in the yield is now about 6.8%. This is the most sustainable dividend model in Canada by his math. Trades at a 5.5 multiple.

BUY

Scheduled to pay a dividend of $.60 per year (about an 8% yield). In the Pembina/Cardium oil area as well as the Peace River Arch of Valhalla with Montney oil. Producing about 16,000 barrels per day. Have been growing by acquisition and the drill bit. Excellent management. Sees the dividend being sustained both in the mid-and long-term.
