Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is widely recognized as one of the best-managed oil and gas companies in Canada, with a strong focus on returning cash to shareholders via dividends and buybacks. Despite facing challenges such as fluctuating oil prices, tariffs, and regulatory uncertainty, many experts appreciate its impressive asset base and long-life reserves, which provide a stable foundation for future growth. The company maintains a substantial dividend yield, often cited as sustainable, and is perceived as a solid long-term investment. While current market conditions have led to a correction in share price, several analysts believe it represents a buying opportunity and expect positive momentum as energy demand rebounds.
Young investors don't care as much about dividend stocks, but they're really important. It's like collecting rent, instead of making money only once you sell a stock. The earlier they start, the more they reap the benefit of the compounding effect that takes place after 10, 20, 30 years of investing. Compounding is such a powerful tool.
It's hard to pick just one, as she likes a diversified portfolio. This name would be her first choice, based on today's valuation. Premium assets, low decline rate. Largest oil & gas company in Canada. Phenomenal job giving money back to shareholders via dividends and buybacks. Starting 2026, 100% of free cashflow will be returned to shareholders.
Oil's been under pressure, and so have energy stocks, due to concerns about global economy. All these names are in a downswing, but you're getting a pretty nice dividend here of over 5%. 200-day MA is falling, and price is just below that, so may be important inflection point to see if it breaks above. If so, would be a positive technical indicator.
Potential geopolitical rumblings around the world could put push oil price up, but that's just speculation. Sentiment on energy is rather weak. OPEC's not helping by increasing production. Valuation is very cheap compared to last 10 years and to the indices; but that doesn't mean to jump in there right now. Need more evidence of an upswing by market understanding that the global economy is not going to fall off a cliff.
Won't find a single oil stock that will defy gravity if the price of oil drops. A bit more susceptible to the noise around tariffs, especially on energy, because they're not as integrated as other names. That risk has largely dissipated. About 27% gas, so not pure oil.
Best in class. Second-to-none for consistent per-share growth, profitability, FCF, returning capital to shareholders. Nice yield of 5.5%.
He's not bullish oil now (nat gas, yes), so he doesn't own CNQ, though it's run well. CNQ has a deep resource base. The value of the Oil Sands will rise because of its strategic value against the dwindling US shale producers. This is reaching the lows of this cycle. CNQ is more oil than nat gas. Pays a 5.5% dividend yield and strong balance sheet. Are paying down debt.
She'd "top pick" this one forever at these prices. A no-brainer. The premier Canadian oil stock. Rare opportunity to own a premium asset at a discount. Oil price may get weaker as international supply comes on. Still makes $$ with a low commodity price. Good mix between oil and gas.
Best-in-class assets with low decline rate overall of ~11%. Strong culture of maximizing shareholder value through buybacks and dividend increases. Yield is 5.45%, and dividend increases multiple times a year.
About 27% natural gas. Not sure exactly what their breakeven on oil price is, probably ~$52 or so. Oil's come down quite a bit on Saudi moves and global demand issues. Trades at a premium (7x) to peers (5x). Good production profile this year. Cashflow per share growth. Really good balance sheet, as is payout ratio.
If you think oil's going to $70-80, go ahead and buy. He's not so sure about that. Other places are easier to invest.
Sold off on concerns about Canada, what if another Liberal gets in, tariffs on energy, and exposure to the WCS differential. His fund has to be more sensitive to short-term moves, so he sold and harvested a decent tax loss. So you could sell and buy, say, CVE.
For most retail investors, it's a name you can just sit on. One of the deepest resource bases, rock-solid management team, yield is 6.1% (extremely sustainable). Usually it's defensive.

A couple of years ago energy was the place you had to be, and stocks have been sliding since then. Tariffs are slowing things down and gumming up global supply chains. OPEC wants to increase production. With the oil price where it is, there isn't a lot of drilling going on.
There's too much oil right now going into the fall, but oil has a way of tightening itself up. If oil stays lower for longer, there's more drive to get that price higher later. This is the stock in Canada you want to own for sector exposure, sit and collect the dividend, and be there for when the oil price goes higher. Doesn't seem as though there's any catalyst for that to happen in the next 6 months. Yield is ~5%.
