Overview

Completed a strategic pivot: the December 2025 sale of the US Eagle Ford assets (acquired via Ranger 2023) for C$3.0bn net turned Baytex into a pure-play Canadian heavy-oil E&P with a net-cash balance sheet and ~66 mboe/d of ~89% oil/NGL-weighted production.

Go-forward inventory anchored on high-return Clearwater/Peavine and Lloydminster heavy oil plus Viking light oil and an emerging Pembina Duvernay condensate play; FY2025 GAAP net loss (C$604m) was driven by non-cash divestiture write-downs, not operations.

Its EV/EBITDA of 6.4x is above the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 3.6% is lower than the 6.5% median, and at $17.42/boe of proved reserves it is richer than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Baytex Energy Corp. scores 45/100, strongest on safety (85/100). Sub-scores: value 33, quality 39, growth 7, risk 15 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Baytex Energy Corp. holds approximately 0.15 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 66 thousand boe/d (89% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 6.3 years. Break-even: ~$52 (WTI FCF breakeven) — ~US$52/bbl WTI sustaining + base-dividend breakeven on 2026 Canadian program

Net asset value (public-source)

For Baytex Energy Corp., no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
