He Got Canadian Energy Right. Here's What He's Saying Now

Smead sees Canadian oil sands consolidating to three major producers, with Cenovus, Strathcona, and SAGD assets still offering high-return opportunities.

• Cenovus conviction intact: Smead calls Cenovus Energy his largest holding across all books, citing ~15% free cash flow yield and buybacks of minority shareholders at an after-tax wealth transfer.
• Athabasca deal signals re-rating: Cenovus's buyout of Athabasca Oil at C$130,000-$140,000 enterprise value per flowing barrel marks a 70% one-year jump in SAGD asset valuations versus MEG Energy's ~C$80,000 multiple.
