MT Newswires Live11-26

Tudor, Pickering, Holt on Tuesday maintained its buy rating on the shares of MEG Energy (MEG.TO) with a C$38.00 price target after the oil-sands producer released 2025 guidance and a plan to expand production from its northern Alberta operations by 25,000 barrels per day.

"We see MEG's 2025 budget release and overall business update as a net positive for shares, with the newly announced expansion project crystallizing the production outlook for less multi-year capex than expected. For 2025, the company expects production to average 95-105mbpd - with the Street/TPH at the upper-end of the range at 104.3mbpd - on capital expenditure guidance of C$635mm (TPHe/Street C$640mm). C$70mm will be allocated for turnarounds and C$130mm dedicated for the Christina Lake expansion with multi-year guidance keeping capex below the C$650mm mark (sustaining capex C$450mm in out years). The approval of the multi-year project will increase production capacity by 25mbpd to 135mbpd in 2027 (5% production CAGR)," analyst Jeoffrey Lambujon wrote.
