Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is regarded as one of the best-managed oil and gas companies in Canada, demonstrating solid operational performance and a commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks. Experts highlight its significant reserve base, discipline in management, and ability to remain profitable even at lower oil prices, contributing to its attractiveness as a long-term hold. Despite some experts mentioning concerns regarding oil price volatility and the broader energy market outlook, many agree that CNQ's diversification and low-cost production make it a resilient player in the industry. The company has consistently raised dividends for over 25 years, reflecting strong cash flow generation and fiscal responsibility, with analysts projecting a positive long-term trajectory for the stock, particularly if oil prices stabilize or rise again.

WAIT
Likes this company, but before owning it, would want to see at least one or two of the big oil companies go to new highs. That would be a signal for a new rally.
TOP PICK
Earnings came out with a record level. Multiples are lower than the other big producers.
BUY
First choice in oils/gas.
TOP PICK
Senior oils are only discounting $32-$34 oil so, it oil drops, it only goes to that level. If it a goes up, it's a bonus. Will cash flow almost $12 this year which is only 3 X.
BUY
One of their top technical picks in that sector. Has lost a bit of momentum, but it's not a worry. Reaction to OPEC will be key. Expect energy prices will remain high for a while.
WEAK BUY
The risk is the differential between "headline" oil and their heavy oil. Doing quite well at this point, but some risk.
BUY
Extremely well run. Feels the price of oil is going to stay at a high level. Just in the early stages of developing its Tar Sands Project which is fabulous.
DON'T BUY
There is so much talk about additional supplies of oil that it is having a negative psychological impact on oil stocks. Would want to see some significant strength before buying.
BUY
Oil prices dropped on theories of increased production, but doesn't feel that the Saudis can increase I very much. One of the cheapest in North America.
BUY
Has the best cash flow rate of return of all the large-cap domestic companies. Continues growing reserves. Well-managed.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Oil stocks are now in the right part of the cycle. Broke out of a big formation in the latter part of 2003. Stock is currently in a corrective phase which will probably pull a stock back to the $35 area.
BUY
Likes this sector.
BUY
Expect oil prices to remain high. All the oil stocks look really cheap, even at $30 a barrel. Good management.
BUY
Great company. Has done very well expanding its production. Energy stocks are a good investment over the next three to five years.
BUY
A good investment. With the stock, you have the benefit/risk of moving into the oil sands.
