Ovintiv (OVV) has strategically refocused its operations primarily on the Montney region while expanding into promising areas in the U.S., notably Utah and the Permian Basin. Despite being range-bound along with many energy stocks since 2022, the company boasts a robust free cash flow yield of 15%. While Ovintiv is recognized for its quality assets and strong management under a capable CEO, it appears to be in a transitional phase, grappling with its identity as a Canadian-focused energy firm while attempting to gain a foothold in the U.S. market. Some experts express that it may lack the scale of its American peers, thus making it less of a priority for Canadian investors. However, there is optimism for dividend growth and moderate performance given the recent positive momentum in the sector, suggesting that it remains a viable hold for investors looking for exposure in the energy market.
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.

OVV holds highly productive assets in the Montney, Anadarko and Permian basins. They have worked hard to optimize assets following the acquisition of Newfield in 2019. We like that it has maintained cash reserves while reducing debt and it trades under 2x book value. The dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 10% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $49, looking to achieve $81 -- upside potential of 29%. Yield 2.1%
(Analysts’ price target is $81.05)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.
