TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this low cost oil and gas producer in the Montney and Duvernay shale regions as a TOP PICK. As the company pays down debt, it pledges to boost dividends further -- they target 75% returned to shareholders. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by 18% and the company trades at under 1.5x book value. We continue to recommend placing a stop loss at $7.00, looking to achieve $14.50 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 3.6% (Analysts’ price target is $14.40)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 24/21, Up 48%) Disappointed with returns even though have been strong. Has sold shares since company active in M&A. Did not want to wait for return of capital. As company de-levers, company will have a 9% dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

A leader in Canadian light oil, and a big consolidator recently. But it's not his favourite; he's less positive about the future of the price of crude oil (though more so with natural gas). Many assets WCP purchased are older and require even more acquisitions to keep production going. Shorter-term, crude oil prices will be decent, but not sure long term.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The oil and gas producer just closed on a $1.9 billion acquisition of 32,000 boepd in the Montney and Duvernay shale regions - highly prolific areas. This gives the company another 2000 drilling locations. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by 18% and the company trades at under 1.5x book value. We recommend placing a stop loss at $7.00, looking to achieve $14.50 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 2.8% (Analysts’ price target is $14.61)

TOP PICK

Previous energy bear market allowed companies to right-size balance sheets, understand the value of consistency, not overgrow. Our world of desirable renewable energy sources actually creates a scarcity of oil. That's a key driver of inflation right now and won't disappear quickly. Cheap. Price momentum remains strong, raised guidance today. Yield is 4.67%, fairly low payout ratio. (Analysts’ price target is $15.38)

BUY

Has since sold shares in the company due to better opportunities. Recent acquisition has differed return of cash flow to Trading at ~2x times cash flow 31% free cash flow yield. Has ability to increase shareholder returns(buybacks and dividends). Expecting 5x multiple is reasonable on share price.

BUY

Caveat is we're getting late in the cycle. He's buying these names for the next year, not 5-10 years. Great cashflow. Accretive acquisition. Strong name, strong management.

BUY

Beat on Q2. Nice production growth and cashflow per share growth. XTO transaction looks accretive. Debt profile very nice. Likes dividend. A buy on energy prices staying put. Very nice risk/reward.

TOP PICK

Leveraged to oil. Acquisition was highly accretive. Concern about leveraging up again. Should meet debt targets as long as oil stays above $85, and this goes hand-in-hand with increasing dividend by 65% after 12 months. Plan to double production over 2 years. Yield is 4.32%. (Analysts’ price target is $16.16)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 19/22, Down 14.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with WCP has triggered its stop at $8.75.

Unspecified

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 28/21, Up 108%) Still owns shares in the company. Net zero producer that is producing ethical oil and gas. Longer than average reserve life. 11% free cash flow yield equates to 5x multiple and $21 share price target. Management returning capital to shareholders.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate WCP as a TOP PICK. With a current cash flow breakeven level of $40 US, WCP expects to generate over $1.4 billion in excess cash flow after dividends. It should be debt-free by year end, analysts expect. It trades at 1.42x book value and pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $8.75, looking to achieve $13.50 -- upside potential of 34%. Yield 3.48% (Analysts’ price target is $13.54)
