Tudor, Pickering, Holt on Thursday maintained its buy rating on the shares of Tourmaline Oil (TOU.TO) with a C$77.00 price target after Canada's No.1 natural gas producer reported third-quarter results.
"Headline metrics screen slightly negative overall vs. consensus, though more in-line with TPHe. Q3 cash flow printed C$720MM, ~in-line with TPHe C$724MM but below Street C$764MM, which net of capex of C$825MM for E&P (middled TPHe/Street C$849MM/C$801MM), resulted in -C$105MM FCF vs. TPHe/Street-implied -C$125MM/-C$37MM; shareholder returns featured both the C$0.50/shr base and a C$0.25/shr special, lower q/q. On ops, ~635mboepd production beat TPHe/Street 629, with liquids 147mbopd in-line with TPHe/Street 146/147. Looking ahead, Q4 production guidance calls for 655-665mboepd (slightly below consensus 669), though the exit'25 rate was increased at the high end to 680-700mboepd (prior 680-690); FY'25 range was lowered to 637.5-640mboepd (consensus 640) as a result of prudent timing shifts in the capital program and shut-ins. No changes to FY'26 operational guidance, though TOU quantified that C$200-250MM of planned capex could be deferred in a low-price scenario," analyst Jeoffrey Lambujon wrote.
