Now, one of the sector's most embattled companies is trying to prove them wrong.\nOn this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Chad Lundberg, President & CEO of Baytex Energy, for his first interview since taking the helm. After a turbulent few years that saw Baytex expand into the U.S., reverse course, and overhaul its strategy, the stock has more than doubled over the past year. But with plenty of investors still questioning whether the turnaround is real, Chad explains why he believes Baytex is entering a new era.\nThe conversation explores Canada's changing energy landscape, renewed pipeline momentum, improving investor sentiment toward the sector, and why Baytex is betting on a Canadian-focused future. Chad also discusses the company's debt-free balance sheet, its goal of delivering 15% annual shareholder returns through dividends, buybacks, and growth, the long-term potential of projects like Gemini, and why he believes Baytex can create more value as an independent company rather than becoming an acquisition target.\nWhether you're bullish on Canadian energy or still skeptical, this conversation offers an inside look at one of the industry's biggest turnaround stories—and the CEO trying to complete it.\nTimestamps00:00 Trailer\n01:15 Intro 02:20 The mood in the energy sector03:50 Pipelines and increasing production to fill pipelines05:30 What does the energy sector need to fulfill its full potential? 07:30 Hamilton Enhanced Mixed Asset Allocation ETF- MIX 09:20 What are foreign investors saying about the Canadian energy sector? \n11:00 Sentiment towards crude oil\n14:40 The transformation at Baytex Energy\n19:40 Largest shareholder is done selling\n20:50 The aspiration of 15% returns over the net 3 years\n22:40 Dividends & buybacks 23:40 A culture change\n25:20 Asset quality\n28:50 Is Baytex a takeover candidate?\n30:10 Thank you to our partners at ATB Financial\n30:35 M&A in the energy...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/er9NR63MREFV6i2rlZX8f-yMY6gNSK83fNUOzBPoSt8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZmQy/OWMwNmEzY2Y0YTg1/NjM4MjQ3Y2NjMWYy/Zjk1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
