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.

TOP PICK
Their earnings were higher than he anticipated. Spending $3.5 billion on exploration. Net asset value is $95.
BUY
A great company. An attractive entry point for a long-term investor.
BUY
One of his highest ranking stocks. Inexpensive. Doesn't get the respect it deserves. Now being discovered by US investors.
TOP PICK
Cheap, compared to its large-cap peers. Basically trading at about 3.8 X EBITDA compared to 4.8 of the others. Very levered to oil.
BUY
Trading fairly cheap.
DON'T BUY
Has had a long gross channel, but has now broken above which is worrisome. Wait to see if it falls back into the growth channel.

TOP PICK
Compared to other producers, they look pretty good with their multiples.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Very strong on the oils/gas in general. Would buy in the low to mid $70's.

(A past top pick Mar 16/04. Up 8.5%.) Gives you first-class exposure to 4 areas of the world including Western Canada, tar sands, Africa and the North Sea.

A good-quality large-cap. Prefers Talisman.

A great company with a tremendous track record. Has more exposure to heavy oils which may be why it's trading at lower multiples.

A really good name. Has a lot of gas assets. Has exposure in the oil sands. Buy-and-hold.
