Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) is viewed positively by most experts, recognized for its strong management team and consistent performance amidst fluctuating oil prices. The company benefits from both oil and natural gas production, positioning itself as a resilient player in the energy sector. Many reviews highlight CNQ's robust financial health, including a well-structured balance sheet and substantial cash flow, which supports ongoing dividend payments and share buybacks. Although some analysts express caution, recommending to take profits or wait for better entry points, there’s a general consensus that CNQ can sustain profitability even when oil prices decline significantly. Additionally, its historical performance of returning capital to shareholders through dividends makes it a solid choice for long-term investors.

BUY
A good-quality large-cap. Prefers Talisman.
BUY
A great company with a tremendous track record. Has more exposure to heavy oils which may be why it's trading at lower multiples.
BUY
A really good name. Has a lot of gas assets. Has exposure in the oil sands. Buy-and-hold.
TOP PICK
Exposure in north eastern B.C to natural gas. IN oil sands. Interesting off ivory coast in Africa. Cash cow. Cheap stock.
BUY
A very strong company. Has important international assets as well as part of the oil sands projects.
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.
