Tudor, Pickering, Holt on Tuesday maintained its buy rating on the shares of Imperial Oil (IMO.TO, IMO) with a C$115.00 price target after the oil producer and refiner renewed its long-standing normal-course issuer bid (NCIB) share buyback program.
"t least partially driving outperformance yesterday (IMO -2.9% vs. Canadian senior peer group -4.0%), IMO announced the formal renewal of its NCIB following TSX acceptance. The program is good for a maximum of 5% of the company's ~509.04MM shares outstanding, or 25.45MM shares, greater than the alternative of 10% of the float given the XOM ownership (69.6%; shares purchased from XOM would reduce the maximum). The one-year program begins on 06/29/2025 and will end once the maximum is reached or on 06/28/2026, with a daily limit of ~217.1k shares per day, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volumes of 868.3k shares over the past six months," analyst Jeoffrey Lambujon wrote.
