Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Further to the question on GXO: the expenses saved by the recent (Dec 18) dividend cut amount to roughly one-third of dividend costs; I would have thought that this would relieve investor anxiety around dividend sustainability. So I'm wondering if the problem is more likely elsewhere - for example, the WCS/WTI differential, whereby Alberta producers don't get the full benefit of the WTI price recovery. Put another way: are all Canadian pipeline-dependent producers cursed to continue to lose compettitive advantage over time? Such that, regardless of PP ratios or management quality or attractive well decline rates, they will go down while non-dependent producers (VET, PXT, others) go up?
