Encana Corp

ECA-T

Energy is oversold in general. ECA-T is more based in the US now. The company just doesn't seem to make as much money as others in the space. Not to say it can't go up if natural prices improve, he would just look for someone else. (Analysts’ price target is $10.00)

They just bought 4% of shares. They must prove their acquisition of Newfield of lowerng well costs (they have, by 1.4 millions wells). But US investors and hedge funds don't like this deal, so it will take time to convince them. He's owned this before as a short-term trade. There are better names, particularly in mid-caps.

It moved a fair bit of its operations to the states where they get better pricing. This stock is very cheap right now. It is probably a pretty good entry point if you believe the price of oil is going to move up. (Analysts’ price target is $10.60)

Cheap. A good buy. Lots of upside. But needs the price of oil to move.

He likes it. Sold it a while ago. The yield is insignificant, but capital appreciation will be limited. You will be waiting.

The Canadian oil and gas index is still not indicating a bottom is here yet. At this price level, the market is questioning the balance sheet of this company. He is not a buyer under this scenario. We might see this trade down to $4. He would stay away.

He once owned it. Energy had a run earlier this year, but is now back at all-time lows. Encana is now super-cheap at 5x EBITDA and 0.6x price-to-book and 6x earnings. A good balance sheet. They pay a small dividend, but are buying back some shares--he wants to see more than that. He urges energy companies to buyback shares, thus returning wealth to investors. It's too cheap to sell now.

Will it rebound 40% this year? Canadian institutional buyers have shunned this; US hedge funds prefer it. They recently bought Newfield--ECA is know for its technical expertise and will find cost efficiencies in a poorly run company. They are confident they have squeezed out $1 million savings per well, and should have 30-40 wells in production to show the market that they have seriously improved production. They report July 31.

He would not pick this one. Their dividend is not favorable. They have consistently bought high and sold low -- moving in and out of natural gas at the wrong time. There are better choices out there.

This is so cheap and beat up, and it pays a dividend. The risk is up, not down.

It is at lower valuations like others in the space. It is about 3.5 times cash flow and announced a share buyback. 48% natural gas. If other OPEC players cut production then this one will do very well. But as a long term investor at these levels. It is very cheap.

(A Top Pick Mar 19/19, Down 33%) Last week they sold it. Took pain on it. He doesn't look the oil sector in general.

Foreign investors are fleeing the country and now this company is doing so because it is now very much an American company after recent acquisitions. He would recommend this company at these levels. It is trading at about 10 times earnings and a slight discount to book value. Any kind of good news in Canada will bode well for this stock.

High trade volume? She does not hold any energy producers at all right now, due to the takeaway issues and low commodity prices. Their $5 billion acquisition of Newfield turned the market off. The apathy in the market is not attractive to her as an investor.
