Imperial Oil (IMO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Imperial Oil Ltd experienced significant positive financial developments, notably achieving an 18% increase in enterprise value, which rose by $8.4 billion to reach $54.6 billion by June 30, 2025. The company also implemented a robust dividend increase of 20% to $0.72 per share, totaling $2.88 annually, while maintaining a stable common share count of 509 million shares. The improvement in upgrader utilization, averaging 97% in 2024 compared to 94% in the previous year, highlights operational efficiency bolstered by bi-directional pipelines optimizing product flows, contributing to a positive outlook for the company.
Bears say
Imperial Oil Ltd's shareholder equity appears under pressure, evidenced by a 31% reduction in common shares since the end of 2020, despite a significant increase in dividends that indicates return-focused strategies may be unsustainable. The company has maintained a low capital investment of $2 billion in comparison to its production rate of about 445,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, suggesting potential concerns about future growth and operational efficiency. Additionally, the Cold Lake segment's 7% natural decline rate raises challenges in maintaining production levels, further compounding the risks associated with Imperial Oil's financial outlook.
