Cenovus Energy Inc. said it will triple its dividend after high crude prices helped the oil major post a sevenfold increase in profit

The Calgary-based company reported net earnings of $1.6 billion for the first quarter, a sevenfold increase from $220 million in the same period last year.

In addition to the dividend boost, the company announced it will target to return 50 per cent of quarterly excess free cash flow to shareholders when net debt is below $9 billion through a new share buyback plan. And once net debt is below $4 billion — which some analysts estimate could happen next year — 100 per cent of the prior’s quarters excess free cash flow will go to share buybacks.

Finally. My investment in this company has been languishing for the last 6 years. People forget that companies don’t own themselves. Real people with limited means also own shares. I need this company to do well to fund my retirement. It’s not greed. It’s supply and demand.

Greed. So many companies taking advantage of post-covid times.
