According to TD Newcrest, the downstream of Cenovus Energy Inc (NYSE:CVE) will weigh the company down, and they downgraded them from "Buy" to "Hold" based on that assumption.
TD said, "Of note, our 2010 CFPS estimate is now marginally higher since we were already at the low-end of the new target range. Our 2011 CFPS estimate also increases marginally (drives 75% of the EV/DACF component of our target price calculation) but since we reduced our target multiple to 8.5x from 9x to reflect current peer group multiples, our target price falls to $32/share. We note that 2010 guidance had not been updated since April 2010. With a target return of 15%, we are concurrently downgrading to HOLD."
Cenvus closed Friday at $27.82. losing $0.35, or 0.89 percent. They lowered their price target from C$33 to C$32 on the company.

JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) Launches Coverage on Cenovus (NYSE:CVE), Nexen (NYSE:NXY), Talisman (NYSE:TLM), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:CNQ) and Suncor (
JPMorgan took aim at companies with strong exposure to the Canadian oil sands in Alberta, with analyst Katherine Minyard initiating coverage on Cenovus Energy (NYSE:CVE), Nexen (NYSE:NXY), Talisman Energy NYSE:TLM), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:CNQ), Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) and Husky Energy (TSE:HSE).
She started off Cenovus Energy, Nexen, and Talisman Energy with "Overweight" ratings. Canadian Natural Resources and Suncor Energy with "Neutral" ratings, and Husky Energy with an "Underweight" rating.
“We believe depth of resource base, production growth visibility and exposure to an increasingly important source of global oil supply make for an attractive value proposition in oil sands-rich Canadian oils,” Minyard said in a note to clients.
Minyard concedes her outlook on the sector is based on the ongoing support underlying oil prices. If they were to drop, the scenario for the above-mentioned companies in the short term could change significantly.
She concluded, “Although our near- and long-term oil price modeling assumptions do not call for prices to differ significantly from the current $81/barrel, significant or sustained weakness in the oil price would likely pressure share prices.”
