They had a rough quarter while peers did well. Is not in his top 10 energy names. They're struggle to reposition into higher-margin plays as they struggle with their debt. Lacks consistency and is a high-beta name.

Energy looks good in recent days. The current low is interesting and similar to one in early 2023; share are climbing currently. In the last 2 weeks, Baytex has outperformed the S&P. The energy sector looks good.

Not being rewarded for M&A activity. Management promises of re-rating on stocks is not trusted by the markets. Believes company will gain higher valuation if focuses on prudent capital allocation (share buybacks etc.) Would advise investors to ignore over reactions of market (both negatively and positively).

Technical perspective - downward trend not a great sign. Expecting a bottom soon in stock price which would be a good place to buy. Energy prices will rise soon.

Very cheap valuation. Recent M&A will start to pay off in 2024. Energy outlook looks favorable. Would recommend buying.

Has grown well in the past 10 years, has great access to capital and generates a lot of free cash. He has better choices, but likes BTE.

COMMENT
Baytex Energy Corp

For Baytex there is some consolidation here due to some nervousness re the price of oil. Cenovus is similar to Baytex and has dropped to the consolidation level. It could go to the $20 level in the next 3 to 6 months. Don't buy energy now since it could retrace much of its big gains.

Recovered from overhang of the Ranger deal, which made the company better. Respects CEO, great asset base, clear vision to using free cashflow to pay shareholders more and pay down debt. Second-highest free cashflow yield in NA.

No longer a pure play on heavy oil. Moves in and out of favour depending on leverage to oil. See his Top Picks for a heavy oil producer he prefers over this one. He prefers scalable, heavy oil projects that generate strong margins.

Has reduced energy exposure. Unsure on direction of sector. Believes over bought. Seasonality is weak until February. Has sold half of position.

He's sold a lot of energy lately, but hung onto BTE. The valuation remains cheap. The market doesn't want to see energy companies buying other ones (CPG is getting punished for that today).  BTE boasts over 20% free cash flow yield, trading over 3x operating cash flow, so cheap.

Earnings beat by 5% on last quarter. Very cheap relative to peers. Seeing nice production and cash flow growth. Oil prices volatile. Debt concerns a little bit of concern. Very good exposure to oil price. Almost blue chip quality within sector.

(A Top Pick Nov 25/22, Down 12.4%)

Recent M&A not being rewarded. Expecting market to digest Ranger acquisition. Expecting better performance in 2024. High quality increase in Eagleford starting to be understand. ~$9 share price not unreasonable. $14 share price also possible. Will continue to own shares. Would buy more shares if possible. Very bullish.

WATCH
Baytex Energy Corp

Impacted by wildfires. Acquisition of Ranger got them into US, but also increased leverage quite a bit. Will have to concentrate on debt reduction. Has promised fairly high portion of free cashflow to shareholders via dividends and buybacks. Fairly attractive at current prices, but better choices in the sector. Yield is 1.7%.

We like BTE better these days. It was in the dog house for a long time (high debt, dividend elimination) but has managed to get things back on track. It has re-started a dividend, and is very cheap. Debt is still higher than most peers, however, and it made a $1.3B acquisition this year while the rest of the sector focused on paying down debt. We do like WCP 'better', but for diversification we think BTE becomes more interesting if it goes below $5.
