Makes Sense NowWe all knew Q1 would be bad but I don't think anyone predicted those numbers. ? leaked. Market seemed to know.
Here's the thing now though. Terrible Q1 is baked into price. Q2 will also be bad but not Q1. If crude holds or continues upwards may be an OK quarter (thinking adjusted cash flow ~$400MM). Q3/Q4 should be excellent with ~$1B adjusted cash flow+ at today's prices.
Market looks ahead, not behind. CVE baked every terrible number they could into Q1 (might as well at that point). Operations better than target. Market may not punish CVE as much as you think. Shareprice surprise may be on the way.
