Ovintiv Inc. (DE) ranks ahead of most of DailyIQ's universe on 12-month price momentum. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into OVV?

CHEAP

At today's price, Ovintiv Inc. (DE) needs to grow free cash flow about 1.8% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 9.27% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 35.3% a year, so the market is asking for 33.5 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis OVV looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
57%

Ovintiv Inc. (DE) is currently running 38.5% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against OVV's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 35th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 44.6%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

OVV is trading -48.0% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -41.9%, and the deepest was -90.2% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +15.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 74th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year OVV closed higher on 57% of sessions, and it is currently 7 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, OVV finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -0.3% and an average of -1.1%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +12.2% on average, its weakest December at -4.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: OVV has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 444 of 3,265 sessions (13.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +15.5% and -57.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,266 daily closes between 2013-10-14 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against OVV's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
