Crescent Point: The Smart Decision Of Slashing The Dividend

Crescent Point (CPG) released the 2019 capital program. The 2019 production will stay flat YoY, adjusted for asset dispositions, with a capital program of about C$1.3 billion.

Also, management confirmed the goal of disposing of assets.
But, despite the expected FCF at modest WTI prices, management announced the reduction of the dividend by 89%. Let's see if this decision makes sense for the shareholders.
