PENGROWTH ENERGY $1.54

PENGROWTH ENERGY $1.54 (Toronto symbol PGF; Shares outstanding: 543.0 million; Market cap: $792.8 million; TSINetwork Rating: Average; No dividends paid; www.pengrowth.com) has moved up on news that prominent Toronto investor Seymour Schulich now owns 14.7% of the company’s shares. That makes him Pengrowth’s largest shareholder.

Schulich has a long history of investing in small oil and mining firms. These include a 27.6% stake in Birchcliff Resources (Toronto symbol BIR). Birchcliff is a recommendation of Stock Pickers Digest, our newsletter that focuses on aggressive investments.

Schulich’s involvement is likely a plus for Pengrowth. But its shares will need stronger oil prices in order to move higher.

Pengrowth is still a hold.
