Canadian Natural Rsrcs (CNQ.TO)

It is great company with a very diverse asset base. It has a pattern of trading sideways for a few years then shooting up. It has shot up again in the last few years so there is not much room to grow and there is downside pressure. Has a good dividend of 4.8%.

Because of ESG pressure, big cap oil has decided to buy back shares, pay down debt, increase dividends, keep capex reasonable. Great job of making good acquisitions and executing well, including being on time.

World-class operator. Respects management. Putting his money here to play the stronger oil market compared to 3-4 years ago.

Currently underweight in oil and gas. Financially strong. Good at returning capital to shareholders with dividend increases and buybacks.

There is lots of upside potential but the Fair Market Value (FMV) is slipping a bit and it is trading near a multi-year high. He prefers the junior oil and gas stocks since they are much cheaper with better upside potential. They also come with more volatility.

Premier play to add energy exposure. Good valuation, lots of free cashflow, more stable than lots of other E&P companies out there especially those in natural gas. Large, liquid, dividend growth. 

Paid 23 years of dividend increases. It's Canada's top gas producer with exposure to LNG. really likes it. Dipped below $70 briefly and rarely does to that level, but can still buy around $80 and collect the 4.5% dividend. A core holding for him.

ESG is treating big oil companies like pariahs. So big oil is buying back shares, keeping capex flat, increasing dividends, and paying down debt. And the bigger companies throw off a lot of free cash as oil price goes up.

It will use extra free cash flow for specific dividends and share buybacks. Has over 30 years of reserves.   Buy 15  Hold 8  Sell 0

These big companies have been treated poorly by the Canadian government and are disparaged by parts of the world. They've all paid down debt, bought back shares, increased dividends, and kept capex low. Oil prices will probably remain high over the longer term, and these companies will benefit.

The price reacts quickly to commodity prices. It has long life assets and is reducing debt and is very interesting as a dividend growth stock. The oil sector has corrected over the past few months.
