4.    Personal notes as of 2025-09-18 

The current environment with us tariffs is not favorable Canadian business, but the new pipelines to ship products to Asia and Europe would help to increase oil and gas prices in near future, i.e. no discount WTI.

It is currently traded lower than its book value. 

5.    From morningstar report

Valuation as of 18 September 2024: Baytex energy Corp is an oil and gas company.

Geographically, the group operates in Canada and the United States. the company derives a majority of revenue from Canada. its Canada segment includes the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas in western Canada.

Valuation as of 16 sep 2025

At face value, Baytex Energy Corp looks inexpensive, following a substantial price decline over the past year. To account for the risk of a possible value trap, we have capped its rating at 3 stars. The stock currently trades at a 29% discount to our quantitative fair value estimate of 5.03 cad per share; However, caution is warranted due to this estimate's high uncertainty rating.

The company's valuation metrics strengthen our fair value estimate. a company's valuation metrics provide insights into the market's expectations for its future growth and profitability. Reflecting the firm's valuation is its book value yield of 163.3%,

which sits in the top 20% compared with peers globally. The market price is low relative to the book (accounting) value of the company's equity, which contributes to our view that shares are undervalued.

The company's profitability is an additional encouraging factor. Highly profitable companies are often more resilient in recessions and are likely to generate stronger future cash flows for shareholders. The firm's sales yield of 152.5%, a core component of profitability, ranks in the top 30% globally. This company has a robust ability to generate sales without much capital investment, freeing up more capital to be returned to shareholders in the long run. This characteristic further promotes our favorable price/fair value ratio.

Economic moat as of 16 September 2025

The company's quantitative economic moat rating of none suggests any excess returns could erode quickly as competition arrives. Additionally, the firm's moderate financial health score suggests it is acceptably positioned against adverse economic circumstances.
