# OBE.TO Position

> Claim: Obsidian Energy Ltd. (OBE.TO) will trade at or above $18 by December 31st, 2026.

<p><strong>1/</strong> Everyone's ignoring $OBE while oil sits at $85+.</p><p>The Street's models still assume $58–62 WTI. That gap is the whole trade. </p><p><strong>2/</strong> Sensitivity: ~$4M FFO per $1 of WTI. That's ~$0.60/share for every $10 move in oil.</p><p><strong>3/</strong> Downside protection? Corporate breakeven has historically been ~$39 WTI. Sustaining capex is just ~$175M, and waterfloods are pushing decline rates lower.</p><p>They make money almost no matter what.</p><p><strong>4/</strong> Capital returns are already proven: ~23% of the company bought back and cancelled since 2023. Prior NCIB maxed out. A fresh 10%-of-float buyback runs to March 2027 — dry powder.</p><p><strong>5/</strong> And it's growing: ~22% production growth targeted into 2027, led by light oil. Belly River results are beating expectations.</p><p>Low breakeven + $80 oil + shrinking float + a growth kicker. Rare combo.</p><p><strong>6/</strong> Risk in one line: the growth budget currently outspends FCF and leans on oil staying high — a drop back below ~$60 flips FCF negative and parks the buyback.</p>
