Vltava Fund Daniel Gladiš | “We also sold the Canadian Cenovus Energy. This was the only company in our portfolio focused on oil production. It is fair to say that we made more here than we ever expected, primarily thanks to the war in Iran. Investing in oil-producing companies combines long-term considerations of a company's fundamental value with short-term fluctuations caused by oil price volatility. Moreover, markets tend to overreact to stock prices, in both upward and downward directions. A year ago, in the spring of 2025, when uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade tariffs was at its peak, the spot price for a barrel of WTI crude oil plummeted to nearly $60. At that time, Cenovus shares were trading at Can$16. In our view, this was significantly below the company's intrinsic value and it was a signal for us to buy. This year, in the second quarter of 2026, as concerns peaked about the impact of the war in Iran on the oil market, the price of WTI climbed to $114 and Cenovus Energy shares rose above $40. The company's intrinsic value certainly did not increase by 150% in just 1 year. That value cannot be derived from current oil prices but from long-term expected oil prices. Although these, too, have risen somewhat over the past year in our view, we did not believe that they justified a share price exceeding $40. That is why we sold the shares. We believe that in this sector, it is wise to respond to its greater cyclicality. The market tends to extrapolate current trends far into the future, and this creates opportunities in oil company stock prices for both good buying and good selling opportunities. It is therefore quite possible that, given favorable conditions, we will return to this stock in the future. Among other reasons, this is because the stock acts as a form of hedge against adverse geopolitical events. In this regard, the stock performed excellently this year.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
