Welcome to episode 43 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, where Stockhouse columnists Jonathon Brown and me, Trevor Abes, each deliver a 2.5-minute stock profile related to recent news stories with investment implications. This week, we’re analyzing a pair of Canadian oil stocks with attractive long-term prospects positioned to rise out of the uncertainty surrounding the US attack on Venezuela, home to the world’s largest oil reserves.
Here are Jon’s show notes for episode 43:
- Stability under the oil shock triggered by the U.S. invasion of Venezuela.
- Jon’s oil stock profile centres on Suncor Energy (TSX:SU), one of Canada’s top integrated energy companies.
- At the time of writing, Suncor Energy stock is trading for C$64.45, sporting a 16.80 per cent return year-over-year and a 174.37 per cent return since 2021.
Here are Trevor’s show notes:
- 3 underpriced oil stocks to play the US attack on Venezuela.
- Trevor’s oil stock potentially worth a spot in your portfolio is Greenfire Resources (TSX:GFR), a profitable Alberta oil sands producer with an estimated 409 million barrels of oil in proven and probable reserves.
- At the time of writing, Greenfire Resources stock is trading for C$6.22, having fallen by 28.18 per cent year-over-year.
