Premium contentWe again reiterate NVA as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings showed the company has reduced debt by 43% over the year, achieved record high production, and bought back shares. It trades at 6x earnings, 1.3x book and generates 21% ROE. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $10) to $12, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $15.83)
Owns shares but has sold some due to strength. Free cash flow down a little. Expecting a ~$17 share price. Good for long term investors. Produce a lot of condensate. Strong company. Lots of natural gas exposure. LNG expansion will be good for company.

Prefers names with more exposure to oil.
Expecting 75% of free cash flow returned to shareholders going forward.
Good management team and reserves.
Higher exposure to gas.
Eric NuttallPremium contentBoasting record high production and supporting an ROE of 36%, we again reiterate NVA as a TOP PICK. Despite recent precautionary wildfire curtailments, quarterly production increased 9%, allowing for cash flows to rise, despite lower commodity prices. It trades at 8x earnings and 1.3x book value. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is retired and shares bought back. We continue to recommend maintaining a stop at $10, looking to achieve $15 -- upside over 20%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $15.40)Premium contentThis Calgary based energy producer in the Montney area is reiterated as a TOP PICK.

(Analysts’ price target is $16.00)Premium contentTrading at 7x earnings, 1.4x book and supporting a 37% ROE, we reiterate NVA as a TOP PICK. The company aims to invest 75% of free cash flows and has been aggressively retiring debt and buying back shares, while increasing cash reserves. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $8) to $10, looking to achieve $16 -- upside potential of 33%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $15.88)Second largest investor in company and still owns shares.
60% gas , but lots of condensate production.
20+ years of inventory.
Currently expecting 100% upside on stock.
Committed to return at least 75% of capital to shareholders.
Eric NuttallPrimarily a condensate producer.
Already hit debt target - will return 75% of free cash flow.
At strip gas, trading at 50% of fair value.
4x multiple (conservative) would imply 94% upside on share price.
Eric NuttallPremium contentThis $6 billion market cap producer in the prolific Montney region is setting production records. It trades at 1.4x book value and supports a 36% ROE.

(Analysts’ price target is $15.85)Eric NuttallEric NuttallEnergy sector has been preforming well the past 1-2 years (only posisitve sector this year). Well run company that is executing well in the Montney (British Columbia). Lower natural gas prices have not been reflected in share price of the company. Tremendous ability to generate cash flow. LNG expansion in Canada will be good for the business.

(A Top Pick Aug 30/19, Down 58%) It's been lagging in the past months. He has been adding to it. They have drilled high quality wells in the property they acquired from Cenovus. There is a good potential to increase free cashflow in the next couple years.
