A recent pullback in Tourmaline Oil (TSX:TOU) has caught investor attention, as the share price weakness contrasts with what many see as solid natural gas fundamentals and a continued focus on shareholder returns.

See our latest analysis for Tourmaline Oil.

At a recent share price of CA$59.15, Tourmaline Oil has had a 1 month share price return of 9.69% decline and a year to date share price return of 3.65% decline. However, the 5 year total shareholder return of over 3x suggests longer term holders have seen a very strong outcome, so recent weakness looks more like fading momentum than a break in the story.

If this pullback has you reassessing your energy exposure, it can help to widen the lens and compare ideas against other areas of the market using fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With solid revenue and net income figures, a value score of 4, and the current CA$59.15 price sitting below the CA$71.65 analyst target and modelled intrinsic value, is Tourmaline now mispriced, or is the market already baking in future growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 19% Undervalued

Compared with the last close at CA$59.15, the most followed narrative anchors on a fair value of about CA$73, implying meaningful upside in that framework.

The ramp-up of LNG Canada and expanding North American export infrastructure are set to relieve local bottlenecks, improve price realizations, and support higher sales volumes for Tourmaline over the next several years, positively impacting net margins and earnings.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what underpins that higher value? The narrative leans on faster revenue growth, solid margin assumptions and a future earnings multiple above the wider oil and gas group.

Result: Fair Value of $73 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, this depends on natural gas prices and export capacity actually materialising as expected, with project delays or persistently weak pricing both potential spoilers.

Another View Using Market Comparisons

While the most popular narrative points to upside, the current P/E of 17.3x paints a more cautious picture. It sits above both the Canadian Oil and Gas industry at 14.5x and peers at 16x, although still below a fair ratio of 18.1x. This keeps the risk reward debate very much alive.
