TOP PICK
Energy prices are higher, and companies are much more disciplined and focused on shareholder returns. One thing he likes in particular is that it's still investing in the company for growth, rather than just returning capital to shareholders. Acquisition this summer is a prime jewel, will use its cashflow to to pay down debt, and that's the playbook it will follow. Yield is 5.28%, which will grow significantly when it reaches its debt target this June. (Analysts’ price target is $14.67)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate this low cost oil and gas producer in the Montney and Duvernay shale regions as a TOP PICK. Strong free cash flow is allowing the company to aggressively retire debt and buy back shares. Recently reported earnings again beat expectations and the company trades at under 1.5x book value. We recommend trailing up the stop loss (from $7.00) to $9.25, looking to achieve $14.50 -- upside potential over 47%. Yield 4.3% (Analysts’ price target is $14.30)

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)

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.

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.

We once again reiterate this low cost oil and gas producer in the Montney and Duvernay shale regions as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings show free cash flow exceeding the last three years combined, allowing for debt to be retired and shares bought back. The company's strategy is to payout 75% of FCF to shareholders and use the balance to reduce debt. It pays a fine dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $9.25, looking to achieve $15.00 -- upside potential over 36%. Yield 5.3%
