Ovintiv (OVV-T) has strategically refocused its operations on the Montney region while making a significant push into U.S. markets, including Utah and the Permian Basin. Since 2022, it has experienced price stability like many energy stocks, yet it boasts a commendable free cash flow yield of 15%. The company holds valuable assets, although it finds itself in an uncertain phase as it evolves by changing its name and expanding in the U.S. market, which may not resonate with Canadian energy investors. Despite these challenges, Ovintiv is recognized for its operational effectiveness and is led by a capable CEO, although it is not the top choice among some energy experts.
They refocused operations on the Montney and are pushing strong into the US (Utah, the Permian Basis). It's been rangebound like all energy stocks since 2022, but the free cash-flow yield is a high 15%. They have quality assets, but are in no-man's land (changing the company name and pushing in the US) and not a focus for Canadian energy investor and lacks the scale of US peers. That said, is a good operator run by a good CEO. Not his preferred energy name.
As a predictive question it is of course difficult. OVV is quite cheap and producing nice free cash flow. Positive momentum has returned to the sector. It has room for further dividend hikes. We would be comfortable holding for a while.

The former Encanna moved to the US. It was a disappointment to the market. During the pandemic they decided to move it to the US from where the new CEO was managing the assets. See his top picks today. It would be okay to own this as a short term play.
Are their Nova Scotia assets holding back share price? It's very much a U.S. company now and are doing well. They're one of the best producers in the Permian Basin. Has good growth ahead. Pays a modest dividend though the PE is reasonable. Their offshore Nova Scotia assets are hard to read.
VET vs OVV? They are both stocks he would not own. OVV participated well on expected index buying in the US, but they are no longer able to attract US investors based on their share price. It is a non-starter for sure. VET cut the dividend and they changed management, but it will be a long road. They can't sell assets to help reduce debt and they can't raise the dividend. They are in far too many geographical areas and he thinks they have lost focus.
