AI Summary
Baytex's Eagle Ford exit has repositioned it as a Canadian free-cash-flow and buyback story, with Duvernay efficiency and share repurchases offering upside if management can sustain returns near US$70 WTI; investors should favor the stock only while capital discipline and balance-sheet resilience hold through lower oil prices.
