In the following excerpt from the High-Yield Equity Securities Report, an expert analyst discusses the outlook for the sector for investors:
TWST: Which specific names do you like in the midcap space?
Mr. Rawson: One that would stick out in that group would be Legacy Oil + Gas (LEG.TO), an oily producer. It's got a handful of key resource plays with really deep inventories of drilling locations, many of which are not reflected in the reserve report.
It has really strong netbacks because it is light-oil-weighted, more than 85% oil.

There is a lot of value out there, but I don't think that you need to be a hero by buying the cheapest names - this is a quality name that's been sold off heavily.
TWST: In your coverage right now, who are your top picks that pay a dividend?

Right now though, it has sold off, and it's quite attractive on today's valuation, yielding close to 8%. On our numbers, it's trading at about eight times debt-adjusted cash flow this year, which is really quite cheap compared to its typical trading multiple historically.
TWST: Looking ahead, is there anything that you see on the horizon that could significantly either hurt or help the...
