Serial disappointment, underperforming the sector. Technically, not the kind of stock he would buy.
BTE mentioned that it allocate 50% of free cash flow to its balance sheet and the other 50% to allocating capital to shareholders through buybacks and dividends. Net debt reduced 5% in the quarter but remained high at $2.28B. Earnings were solid as production and net income were up for the quarter. The current capital allocation strategy is quite shareholder friendly but we would like to see debt come down more in the future. The call seemed generally positive.

They continue to deliver, like moving into the Montney and with acquisitions. The stock is cheap and they're paying down debt. Over 75% of free cash flow now goes to shareholders. Expect more buybacks. The risk is energy prices falling, but he likes it.
Trend not going well. Energy stocks not performing well recently. Waiting for stabilization on trends before we buy. Generally speaking, is positive on outlook. Would recommend holding.
Volatile year with energy stocks. If we continue to see lower rates and pickup in economic activity, this name will do well. More heavy-oil focused. Cost of production is higher than others, so they need higher price for oil. Historically cheap, small dividend.
Despite market sentiment, strong company. Company will continue to buy back stock. Very high torque to rising oil price. Above $60 WTI - very strong company. Would recommend holding. Owns shares in the company.
Frustrating. A 10% weight for his fund. Good inventory depth, probably 12-15 years. Respects the CEO. Investors are getting 50% of free cashflow. 23-26% free cashflow yield next year and 2026. He targets $9.30 in 1 year, $11.20 in 2 years, so roughly 90-100% upside.
Meaningfully buying back shares means an inevitable, eventual rerating in the stock.
Valuation is very cheap. Unlike the past, they have a varied portfolio of operations. Huge cash flows and are buying back shares that will likely rise later this year. Cyclical, but undervalued. Should be trading at $7.
(Analysts’ price target is $6.50)Disappointing laggard. But sees profound value disconnect between where stock's trading and where it should be. The Q1 heavy spend is done. Now buying back shares aggressively with half of free cashflow, and this should set it up to outperform; rest of free cashflow is being used to pay down debt. Yield is 2%.
(Analysts’ price target is $6.47)Oils have been trading sideways. Stock's close to midway between one of its trading ranges. Stuck in limbo for next few months. Not great during summer seasonality. OK on dips, but don't expect much for a few months.
See his (really good;) blog on oils, being published tomorrow.
Owns shares, but has been frustrated. Stock price not performing well. Company has improved a lot through the years. Strong assets with cheap valuation. Will continue to hold shares. Expecting continued strength in energy prices.
Good company, would recommend buying. Does not own shares - owns others in the sector instead. However, is a good name. Overall, a positive time in the energy space.
Energy is the most undervalued sector in Canada. This year, global world consumption will hit a record high. Yes, we need to find alternative energy, but demand is insatiable. The bigger names like Suncor trade at much higher PEs, but investors will eventually look at smaller names like this. Hold, if you own, and you can add shares.

Oil stocks are under pressure with the China slowdown. There could be more chances to drill under the Trump administration, therefore more oil and lower prices. Also OPEC is not cutting production. If there was a takeover it would go for a premium.
