Cardinal Energy insiders keep buying
In a letter to shareholders on May 5, Diamondback Energy CEO Travis raised the prospect of peak U.S. on shore oil production.

(CJ-T), the highest ranked Canadian exploration and production name in the April INK Research Top 30 Energy Report. During April alone, four Cardinal insiders purchased a total of 118,250 common shares in the public market at an average price of $5.81.

How I'd Allocate $10,000 in Passive-Income Stocks in Today's Market
Written by Christopher Liew, CFA at The Motley Fool Canada This year, U.S. tariffs and reciprocal tariffs by its trading partners, including Canada, are the storm clouds in global stock markets. The heightened volatility will persist until the trade disputes end. Fortunately for Canadians, there are safer investment options amid a tariff regime. Passive-income stocks like Extendicare (TSX:EXE) and Cardinal Energy (TSX:CJ) can transform $10,000 into recurring cash flow streams. The former continues to beat the market, while the latter has increased its long-term sustainability. More importantly, the payout frequency of both dividend stocks is monthly. I'd allocate $5,000 in each in today's market. Company Recent Price No. of Shares Dividend/Share* Total Payout* Frequency** Extendicare $13.24 377 $0.50 $188.50 Monthly Cardinal Energy $6.11 819 $0.72 $589.68 Monthly *Dividend per share and total payout are annual; **The combined total payout is $778.18 or $64.85 monthly. Extendicare provides care and services for seniors across Canada and operates a network of long-term-care (LTC) homes. At $13.24 per share, current investors enjoy a +25.87% year-to-date gain compared to the broad market's -2.16%. The dividend yield is a decent 3.81%. The $1.11 billion LTC provider finished strong in 2024. In the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024, revenue and net operating income (NOI) rose 11.8% and 27.1% to $391.6 million and $47.5 million versus Q4 2023. The occupancy rate reached 98%. For the year, net earnings ballooned 121.2% to $75.2 million from a year ago. Management is happy with the financial results, although the impact of tariffs on construction costs could affect future projects. Nonetheless, its chief executive officer (CEO), Michael Guerriere, said, 'We are not looking to add new business lines. We see significant opportunities in home care and long-term care across Canada.' Regarding dividends, Extendicare announced a 5% hike due to the improved performance and growth in all business segments. According to Guerriere, the dividend payout ratio dropped below 50%. 'We aim to leverage our existing systems and cloud-based solutions to expand geographically and increase volume within our current strategy,' he added. Cardinal Energy has advanced +21.96% in the week of April 14 to 17, 2025, trimming its year-to-date loss to -3.06%. At $6.11 per share, you can partake in the lucrative 11.78% dividend. This small-cap stock is a TSX30 winner (ranked 29th) in 2024, the flagship program for Canada's 30 top-performing stocks. The $972.44 million oil and natural gas company boasts the lowest decline conventional asset base in Western Canada. In the 12 months ending December 31, 2024, total revenue (petroleum and natural gas) and earnings increased 3% and 5% to $605.3 million and $108.3 million compared to 2023. Cardinal Energy is forward-following, as evidenced by the acquisition of several potential thermal Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) properties. The properties have the potential to materially increase its low-decline production base and free cash flow (FCF). Besides thermal assets, the company has yet to develop multiple years of conventional inventory. Total investments in the Reford, Saskatchewan SAGD project reached $74.3 million in 2024, including shop facility construction, site preparation, and water disposal wells. Cardinal Energy's first thermal SAGD oil development project has a project life of 20 years and will further increase its long-term sustainability. The market environment could improve once the tariff scenario changes for the better. Meanwhile, it would help to own shares of Extendicare and Cardinal Energy for uninterrupted monthly passive income.

Cardinal Energy's (TSE:CJ) investors will be pleased with their impressive 248% return over the last five years
The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But on the bright side, if you buy shares in a high quality company at the right price, you can gain well over 100%. One great example is Cardinal Energy Ltd. (TSE:CJ) which saw its share price drive 168% higher over five years. The last week saw the share price soften some 2.0%. So let's investigate and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress. Check out our latest analysis for Cardinal Energy While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During five years of share price growth, Cardinal Energy achieved compound earnings per share (EPS) growth of 2.7% per year. This EPS growth is lower than the 22% average annual increase in the share price. So it's fair to assume the market has a higher opinion of the business than it did five years ago. And that's hardly shocking given the track record of growth. The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Cardinal Energy's earnings, revenue and cash flow. When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. We note that for Cardinal Energy the TSR over the last 5 years was 248%, which is better than the share price return mentioned above. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! Cardinal Energy shareholders are up 12% for the year (even including dividends). But that was short of the market average. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 28% per year for five years. Maybe the share price is just taking a breather while the business executes on its growth strategy. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Cardinal Energy better, we need to consider many other factors. For example, we've discovered 3 warning signs for Cardinal Energy (2 don't sit too well with us!) that you should be aware of before investing here. Cardinal Energy is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of small cap companies at attractive valuations which insiders have been buying. Please note, the market returns quoted in this article reflect the market weighted average returns of stocks that currently trade on Canadian exchanges. Have feedback on this article?
