Anthony Linton has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Whitecap Resources’ successful merger with VRN and its optimistic 2025 guidance. The company anticipates a production range of 295-300 mboe/d with a capital expenditure budget of $2.0 billion, which reflects a strategic focus on enhancing production capabilities.
Additionally, Whitecap Resources has announced $270 million in non-core asset sales, expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2025, which will further strengthen its balance sheet. The company is also targeting a 3-5% growth in production per share, indicating a commitment to long-term growth and financial stability. These strategic moves and financial targets contribute to the positive outlook and justify the Buy rating.
