DON'T BUY
Can’t see enough growth in the stock price in the future. Dividend yield under 2%.
DON'T BUY
7% positive differential But if you aren't hedged don't buy.
DON'T BUY
In general would not buy a US stock. It's a slow moving stock and is overwhelmed by the raise of the Canadian dollar. All the oils are trading the same way. So there is no reason to buy a US oil when there are Canadian oils that are trading the same way.
BUY
Epitome of a market leader that has both high shareholder and high dividend yields. Profitability has remained extraordinarily strong in spite of declining oil prices. Not a growth name, but a conservative, core blue chip holding that has a value profile. Does business in virtually every country, so limited currency risk.
TOP PICK
Relatively inexpensive compared to its peers. Has virtually no debt on its balance sheet. Free cash flow of about $21 billion US. Diversified globally. Replacing its reserves at about 109% a year.
DON'T BUY
Hasn't bothered with gas/oil companies out of NYSE, as there are so many choices in Canada. This way, he doesn't fight the currency exchange. Fairly expensive.
BUY
He has a model price of $77.31, a 24% positive differential.
DON'T BUY
Canadian $is going to get stronger from here so there is a currency factor. If you like the oil sector, and want to be in an integrated, there are lots of Canadian companies where you will do well.
BUY
In spite of currency differences, owning this is a better value than owning Imperial Oil (IMO-T). Has done an incredibly good job of maintaining its reserve life. A cash generating machine.
WEAK BUY
Have $5 US cash and this could be turned back in the form of a dividend or stock buy back. Will probably use some of it for exploration. All the big oil companies have a lot of cash on hand now. Would rather look to something like Encana (ECA-T) which has more leverage to gas.
HOLD
A little bit expensive, but not too expensive. They'll be printing money over the next little while because of their refining margins.
BUY
Exxon (XOM-N) versus Conoco (COP-N). Exxon has the best capital discipline of the US majors. Has a very high return on capital employed (ROCE). Conoco is one of the worst, largely because they overpaid for some of their acquisitions. Haven't had particularily good numbers on their refining and marketing side.
WEAK BUY
Throws off lots of cash flow. Very solid company. A premier stock in the US. If you want to be in oil and want to play it safer, this is probably the route to go. 2% dividend.
TOP PICK
3 favourite sectors are energy, health care and telecommunications, so TOP PICKS are in these categories. There will be more volatility with the fluctuation in commodity price. This is a safer way to play energy.
TOP PICK
Earning at a peak level. Can afford to raise its dividend.
