I love how most of the value in $SU to be created is just by closing the multiple gap with $CNQ
#Elliott leading with an #ESG focus makes sense - no one can be seen to pull back on these initiatives... you know like $SU itself did when it delayed the Coker to CoGen project.
Obviously $CNQ is sub optimal here - but what really stands out is $IMO - if I meet some employee in a bar and we start talking about @ImperialOil they invariably start talking about how proud of the safety culture they are - it is really impressive.
One small quibble with #Elliott here, it is kind of odd to be comparing to total $CNQ output and not just their oil sands ops...
Yes $SU's numbers include offshore too but these are very different beasts.
Does show that $CNQ is a master of any domain it enters.
I am all for owning $SU, but the decision to shut a train down at Fort Hills is... you know the reason for the drop off - that is come important context - it wasn't like they for that much worse at mining.
I know you don't want to make the bear case for a company in your turn-a-round deck #Elliott but there is no reason $SU's OS ops should get an $CNQ multiple - the RLI issue is still hanging there like a sword of damocles.
A statement form SBA Cap reguarding $SU and #Elliott.
Well this is going to be fun. $SU
The legendary activist shop Elliott has kicked off what we, like they, hope to be the beginning of the end for this malaise that has set in at Suncor for many years now. $SU
Sure - want to prove your company is not just a transfer of value from the min owners to private investors...
The dude in on the board of a company that depends on the CRA not looking too closely at tax losses, employees no one, and is threatening people over WFH.
He has no idea what kind of fucking the E&P space could be in with their FCF, and the lack of an interest group supporting them.
Like 5 years ago I was in a briefing with a political advisory who was making the point that for E&P's Canada have as much political risk as Nigeria, and they are not WRONG!
Never forget, the reason they were able to grab $VII for so cheap was that 7G made a lot of "Fortune favours the bold" type bets - and ya it could have worked out a lot better for people that put cash into VII.
