Cenovus Energy (CVE) Stock

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cenovus Energy Inc. (“Cenovus” or the “Company”) (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) announced today it will exercise its right to redeem the Company's 4.689% Series 3 Preferred Shares (the “Series 3 Preferred Shares”) on December 31, 2024 (the “Redemption”). All 10 million Series 3 Preferred Shares outstanding will be redeemed at the price of $25.00 per share, for an aggregate amount payable to holders of $250 million, less required withholdings, if any, funded primarily from cash on hand.

Cenovus delivered a solid Q3 with upstream production above expectations as the turnaround at Christina Lake was finished ahead of time. Downstream remains a drag on group performance, yet management is actively adressing challenges, with key work at its Lima refinery done during the turnaround and feedstock cost effects likely easing. With relative valuation at its lowest in several years, we reiterate shares at Overweight and a ~84% upside to our US$30/sh price target.

A second Trump administration is likely to affect most, if not all, corners of the stock market, there are few areas expected to be impacted as significantly as the energy sector.

CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cenovus Energy Inc. (TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has approved the renewal of the company's normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to 127,489,549 common shares during the 12-month period commencing November 11, 2024 and ending November 10, 2025.

Cenovus Energy should perform better as an integrated company than it did in the past when the business was mostly upstream during cyclical downturns. Earnings showed improvement over the past. The progress will become significant to the market. Heavy Oil and Oil Sands offer the most significant cost reduction potential.

Canada's rich reserves and export growth make Cenovus Energy a compelling dividend stock, especially with rising U.S. demand and expanded access to Asian markets. Cenovus' integration of upstream and downstream assets strengthens its profitability. Strategic pipelines and refinery access further boost its long-term value. With steady cash flow, a solid balance sheet, and aggressive shareholder returns, CVE is well-positioned for growth, making it a key pick for dividend income.

CVE's Q3 earnings lag estimates but revenues beat the same. Both the top and bottom lines decrease year over year.
