Ovintiv Inc., a leading energy company, recently announced its decision to increase its base dividend by 20%.

The acquisition, valued at approximately $4.275 billion, will significantly expand Ovintiv's Permian Basin position, adding around 1,050 net well locations and 65,000 net acres in the Midland Basin. The transaction is projected to enhance Ovintiv's financial performance, contributing to an increase of over 25% in cash returns per share in the next twelve months and more than 40% in 2024. Ovintiv's commitment to a strong investment grade balance sheet and its expectation of affirmation from ratings agencies further demonstrate its focus on sustainable growth and shareholder value.
