And the energy firm could increase even more due to recent acquisitions and a healthy dividend. But another likely reason is Big Money lifting the stock.

Big Money Likes Cenovus

So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.

Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Cenovus has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.

This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares.

You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.

That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares. To show you what I mean, have a look at all the Big Money signals CVE has made the last year.

In the last year, the stock attracted 26 Big Money buy signals. Generally speaking, recent green bars could mean more upside is ahead.

Now, let’s check out technical action grabbing my attention:

Outperformance is important for leading stocks.

Next, it’s a good idea to check under the hood. Meaning, I want to make sure the fundamental story is strong too. As you can see, Cenovus has been growing sales well and is affordably priced. Take a look:

Cenovus Price Prediction

The Cenovus rally could have further to go. Big Money buying in the shares is signaling to take notice. Shares could be positioned for further upside, and it pays a current dividend of more than 1.7%. Given the historical gains in share price and strong fundamentals, this stock could be worth a spot in a diversified portfolio.
