Morgan Stanley Assumes Ovintiv Inc. (OVV) at Equalweight

Morgan Stanley analyst Devin McDermott assumes coverage on Ovintiv Inc. (NYSE: OVV) with a Equalweight rating.

The analyst comments "OVV has risen ~56% YTD, outperforming oil E&P peers by ~8% on the back of strategic portfolio transformation (NuVista acquisition & Anadarko sale), solid execution, and enhanced shareholder return framework. • The company trades at a 2026 EV/EBITDA of 4x and FCF yield of 13%, near the oil E&P median of 12% and 4x. • Pro forma for the Anadarko divestiture, we estimate OVV’s 2026E net debt/ EBITDAX would fall from above-average to 0.4x, in line with peers. • Price target is a 50/50 blend of NAV ($67/sh) and EV/EBITDAX based valuation ($69/sh). Our EV/EBITDA target multiple is 4.5x (NAV implied multiple of 4.6x)."
