Company Report

Whitecap Resources Targets Modest Growth Awaiting Firmer Market Signals

Whitecap will likely acquire adjacent blocks to its core territory as it has since its founding. Acquiring and trading acreage to block up or expand runway is an important part of the business and should be expected. Larger acquisitions look less likely, as management targets a modest 3%-5% per share annual production growth. In the near term, organic growth from improving new and base wells have lifted production without much incremental spending. Looking toward the end of the decade, share repurchases and inorganic growth may be required.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Whitecap’s multidecade diverse asset portfolio gives it strategic optionality that smaller players lack. It can respond to changing conditions by investing in its varying oil, condensate, or gassy locations.

Bears

Natural gas production in search of condensates will suppress prices for the foreseeable future. Whitecap has few options to solve the problem without buying existing or backing new pipeline capacity out of the basin.
