MEG Energy ( (TSE:MEG) ) has provided an announcement.

MEG Energy’s Board of Directors has unanimously recommended that shareholders reject the revised offer from Strathcona Resources Ltd. and instead support the transaction with Cenovus Energy Inc. The Cenovus transaction is valued at approximately $8.2 billion and offers MEG shareholders a choice of cash or Cenovus shares, promising value realization and lower risk. In contrast, the revised Strathcona offer is criticized for exposing shareholders to inferior assets, unproven track records, and significant financial risks, including a special distribution that weakens the balance sheet of the combined company.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:MEG) stock is a Hold with a C$28.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on MEG Energy stock, see the TSE:MEG Stock Forecast page.
