Smead International Value Fund Cole Smead | “The biggest contributors for the quarter were Cenovus Energy (CVE CN), Strathcona Resources (SCR CN), and Frontline (FRO NO). As many investors may know, Cenovus and Strathcona are currently bidding for ownership of MEG Energy (MEG), which we also own. MEG was put in play by another company we own, Strathcona Resources (SCR CN) in May. Another holding of ours, Cenovus Energy (CVE CN), has made a rival offer that taught us all what we need to know about the financial attractiveness to scale a couple of oil companies in a merger. Adam Waterous, Chairman of SCR, has been very aware of this value and has done an excellent job of communicating the value creation in the oil and gas business like Orcel has in banking. … Adam has talked about $42 per share in statements he has made publicly. Why would he talk of such large numbers? He is directly communicating how much value creation there is in a transaction for MEG. SCR's last offer for MEG sits close to $30, but the value of MEG is only going up as this auction works itself out. BSD Analysis: Strathcona is a rising Canadian E&P force with scale, longevity, and a disciplined capital-return mindset. Heavy-oil and thermal assets create powerful operating leverage when prices rise. The company's growth trajectory is far faster than market recognition — it behaves like a major but trades like a mid-cap. Balance sheet discipline is solid, cash flow strong, and decline rates low. Strathcona isn't well-known yet, which is exactly the opportunity. As production grows and capital returns ramp, institutions will notice. A high-quality Canadian operator at an early stage of market discovery.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
