NuVista Energy ( (TSE:NVA) ) has issued an update.
NuVista Energy has secured recommendations from independent proxy advisory firms, including Institutional Shareholder Services, for shareholders to vote in favour of its proposed plan of arrangement under which Ovintiv Inc. would acquire NuVista through its subsidiary Ovintiv Canada ULC. The transaction offers NuVista shareholders the option to receive $18.00 in cash per share, 0.344 Ovintiv shares per NuVista share, or a mix of cash and shares, subject to proration limits, and ISS highlighted the enhanced valuation and larger cash component, noting that the consideration exceeds NuVista’s historical market prices over the past 15 years. NuVista’s board, backed by these endorsements, is urging shareholders to vote ahead of the January 21, 2026 proxy deadline and to elect their preferred form of consideration before the election cut-off, underscoring the deal as the best route to accelerate value and provide flexibility for investors seeking either immediate liquidity or ongoing exposure to Ovintiv.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:NVA) stock is a Buy with a C$20.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NuVista Energy stock, see the TSE:NVA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:NVA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:NVA is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong profitability and a conservative balance sheet, partially offset by weaker free-cash-flow generation. Valuation is reasonable (P/E ~10.9), and the proposed Ovintiv acquisition with a stated premium is a supportive corporate catalyst, while technical signals are neutral-to-mixed.
