(TSX: CVE) (NYSE: CVE) today announced its 2025 corporate guidance, which includes capital investment of $4.6 billion to $5.0 billion, delivering upstream production of 805,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/d) to 845,000 BOE/d and downstream crude unit utilization of 90% to 95%. Capital investment in 2025 will include about $3.2 billion of sustaining capital to maintain base production and support continued safe and reliable operations, with an additional $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion directed towards advancing the company's upstream growth projects. Cenovus's disciplined capital plan and strong emphasis on cost control will support continued returns to shareholders of 100% of excess free funds flow (EFFF) over time while maintaining net debt near $4.0 billion.

Cenovus Energy offers a compelling value and income growth opportunity, trading near its 52-week low with a forward P/E of 10.5. CVE's integrated operations, disciplined capital allocation, and strong balance sheet underpin its appeal, with plans to return excess free cash flow to shareholders. Significant production ramp-ups from projects like Christina Lake and West White Rose position CVE for long-term growth despite near-term headwinds from lower commodity prices.

A favorable US administration, undemanding valuation, and positive business growth outlook make Cenovus Energy an attractive investment.

With relative valuation at its lowest in several years, we reiterate shares at Overweight and a ~84% upside to our US$30/sh price target.
