March 20, 2026, 6:19 PM EDT. Scotia Capital Markets analysts led by Kevin Fisk advise investors to focus on Canadian energy stocks with above-average yields amid uncertain oil and natural gas prices. Their list includes Cenovus Energy, Whitecap Resources, and Ovintin Inc. for oil, priced conservatively around US$71 per barrel compared to West Texas Intermediate's actual US$95 level. On the defensive side, Freehold Royalties and PrairieSky Royalty are favored. In natural gas, top picks are Topaz Energy, Spartan Delta, Peyto Exploration, and Expand Energy, each noted for strong margin profiles or growth potential. Vermilion Energy offers access to the European gas market, adding geographic diversity. Scotia's picks aim to balance upside potential and risk amid volatile commodity markets.
