jeremy.mccrea@raymondjames.ca Summary: ♦ For WCP, the production 'beat', in the context of y/y growth, we believe is a result of stronger well economics than the market generally believes based on GeoSCOUT data we see. Given many sizable acquisitions over the past few years, the company's higher profitability through its well development isn't as appreciated. Overall, with top decile well economics, 85% of production tied to oil, strong balance sheet and a valuation that has yet to keep pace with oil prices,
we maintain our Strong Buy.
