Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) has garnered a mixed but generally favorable response from various experts in the energy sector. Many affirm its strong management and operational efficiency, alongside its consistent dividend growth, which has been maintained for over 25 years. Despite concerns regarding fluctuations in oil prices and geopolitical issues impacting energy markets, analysts highlight CNQ's resilience and stability, making it a preferred choice among oil and gas companies in Canada. There's a recurrent theme of cautious optimism, with several reviews indicating it as a long-term hold while suggesting that current valuations may limit short-term upside. The company's ability to generate cash flow even at lower oil prices and its focus on returning capital to shareholders have been positively noted, although there's also recognition of the potential volatility tied to oil market dynamics.

COMMENT
Stock split? He wouldn't know the odds. They've done them in the past. It's usually done by the high-share-price companies to broaden their investor base. CNQ is not at a crazy high price, but never say never. Splits don't change the fundamentals.
COMMENT
Rather than a company doing both fossil and green energy, better to find a pure play energy, or a pure play renewable. For energy, look at EOG or CNQ. Try BEP.UN for renewables.
BUY
Very well managed company, but valuation is higher than other opportunities. Currently expecting a 7x multiple on the stock price (65% upside). Thinks there are more opportunities with higher appreciation opportunities.
STRONG BUY
It's one of his biggest energy holdings. He started buying this last October and he continues to buy it. No one can predict the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war. Has 11% free cash flow and pays a 3.8% dividend yield. A great hedge in this market.
BUY
Oil and gas are really good businesses. Cashflow used to pay down debt, increase dividends, and buy back shares. Though oil is volatile, price will stay elevated, producing tons of free cash. Energy security will become more important going forward, making Canadian oil more valuable.
TOP PICK
It is a great asset and very well managed. The near term price and crude prices will continue regardless of the Ukraine/Russian conflict. The balance sheet is solid and it is able to make acquisitions. It is shareholder friendly with buybacks and dividend increases. Long life asset with low decline rate. A blue chip stock. Buy 17, Hold 7, Sell 0.
BUY
Trading at 19% free cash flow yield. Excellent management team led by Murray Edwards. Not as much value for shareholders compared to other Canadian energy companies.
BUY
Raised dividend 22 years in a row, having its day in the sun. Great CEO and is the safest play in the oil patch. If oil prices stay here, could go higher.
BUY
Oil supply down with little capital investment the past 10 years. Creating good environment for energy prices. Largest energy company in Canada. Very disciplined capital management. Share price higher than it was in 2008. Would recommend buying.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Commodities in general have been on fire. Oil is riding high. Be patient and wait for a pullback. Keep your eye on it.
HOLD
He loaded up on it at its lows. A great company, good addition to your Canadian portfolio. You want access to the commodity in an inflationary environment. Not terribly expensive. If you own it, sit on it, as energy looks tight for the next number of years.
BUY
There will be volatility, but energy is underowned. Great.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Company has excellent management team (Murray Edwards). Believes company is very well run. 50% upside remains for stock at $80 oil. Not as undervalued as other energy stocks, but excellent company.
HOLD
Security of supply is still important, as we rely on oil for our daily lives. The industry is continuing to improve in terms of environmental impact. One of the best run with great free cashflow.
BUY
A very good quality company with excellent management, Consider the commodity sector a trade rather than an investment. Own for the cycle or 5 year horizon. Still some time left in the sector.
