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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has gotten ahead of itself and you should wait until it drops back to the $60/62 area.
TOP PICK
Very cheap at 3 X cash flow. Great gas exposure in BC and Alberta. Have a cash cow in the North Sea.
BUY
Positive on the oil sector and this is a great name to own. The only caveat is that they are involved in an oil sands project and they are new in this area so could have cost overruns.
TOP PICK
(A top pick Jun 2/03. Up 38%.) A great company. Well diversified.
TOP PICK
Has gone up a lot. Quite a big gas play. Just raised its dividend. Record profits. Strong management.
TRADE
Prefers Talisman because it trades lower on fundamentals.
TOP PICK
Have some good natural gas properties in the western provinces. Also like their tar sands projects. Also has some interesting positions in Africa.
BUY
It's down because of sympathy with many of the seniors downgrading their reserves. Should be no problem with reserves in this company. Very competent. Will probably be a growth story for the next 5/10 years.
HOLD
Every portfolio should have some energy. Cheaper the better. Good entry point. Long term hold
DON'T BUY
Should have a good year in 2004, but that is probably built into the stock already. Not very bullish on oil stocks.
HOLD
Trading in a ragged way. Long-term book value is growing very rapidly. Fair market value higher than stock price. Good value. Price to book value is reasonable.
PAST TOP PICK
(A past top pick Nov 5/03. Up 14%.) And undervalued play. Still some upside left.
HOLD
Pretty much completely driven on commodity prices. Not a bad company, but prefers others.
BUY
On their list as a potential buy. Well-managed. Seems to be able to go into properties that others think are not viable and are able to extract tremendous value from them. A good investment for a medium to long term horizon.
TOP PICK
Represents very good value. Have a lot of great assets. Their oil sands project, Horizon, represents a lot of good value to the company.
