Imperial Oil (IMO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Imperial Oil Ltd reported a significant 20% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.72 per share, reflecting the company's strong financial performance and commitment to returning value to shareholders. The company's upgrader utilization reached 97% in 2024, up from 94% in 2023, aided by the efficiency of bi-directional pipelines that optimize its operations and feedstock flows. Furthermore, Imperial's enterprise value experienced an 18% rise to $54.6 billion by mid-2025, indicating robust market confidence and growth potential for the company.
Bears say
Imperial Oil has experienced a significant reduction in its common share count by approximately 31% since the end of 2020, supported by $5.5 billion in share repurchases, while the dividend payout has more than tripled to $2.88 per share. Despite these enhancements to shareholder returns, the company faces challenges with a natural decline rate of approximately 7% at its Cold Lake operations, indicating potential issues with maintaining production levels. Additionally, Imperial's relatively low capital investment of $2 billion this year, compared to its low-decline upstream production of about 445,000 boe/d, raises concerns about the company's capacity to sustain growth and effectively address operational inefficiencies.
