COMMENT

CNQ vs SU? He thinks oil prices will be flat for the next period. There continues to be a flood of oil out the US and there is growth globally as well. In Canada, we are anti-trade outside of Canada. CNQ-T has been the best managed company in the space since 1990. SU-T is also a safe pick as well. Not a real reason to own them as he is not bullish on oil. (Analysts’ price target is $46.33)

HOLD

He likes both SU-T and CNQ-T and has made it a Top Pick in the past. Both these stocks continue to be good to hold. SU-T will continue to be a core holding for him as he likes both their upstream and downstream assets.

HOLD
One of the most widely held stocks in the energy space. Well managed and great assets. They have purchased many distressed assets at good value. It may not have the torque to the upside like others, but a solid core holding.
DON'T BUY

or Suncor Neither. CNQ is a great company and doing good things on the ESG front and advocating for the oil industry. This and Suncor are the two biggest oil names in Canada. CNQ keeps promising free cash flow, but keeps deferring that flow. He'd rather buy Cenovus which is poised to receive large-cap investment inflows.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
It is one of the two main trophies. It has gone sideways since 2008. It goes up 50% and down 50%. This is a very volatile sector. You have to take advantage of the lulls when the stock is cheap.
DON'T BUY
Do you have a view of oil in general? Oil looks pretty oversold. He is not convinced to jump into oil in general. This company in particular needs oil to move higher to move up. (Analysts’ price target is $47.71)
BUY
Latest acquisition? They are buying the Devon oilsands assets. Maybe it is time to come back into the Canadian oil patch. It trades about 4 times cash flow. At this price and a good yield, it is time to start nibbling here. (Analysts’ price target is $47.00)
COMMENT
CNQ vs SU Both have excellent management teams and are generating free cash flow. Both pay dividends. CNQ-T does not have refining assets. Both are the go to names for investors out of Canada. On a value basis, neither are great value right now. There are more exciting names to own.
BUY
A great stock. It does not have up-stream and downstream protection. You can't predict the oil price. Hopefully we get positive news on Trans-Mountain. US investors want some policy changes in Canadian energy before investing here and those changes may happen. It has good risk/reward. There is no debt problem.
BUY
Fabulous company. Grown dividend 17 years in a row. Natural decline rate is about 12%, extremely low. If you had to buy one Canadian oil and gas and hold it for 5 years, this is the one. Better, and more diversified, than Suncor. Management has tremendous track record. Good long-term hold.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 18/18, Down 21%) A increase in commodity prices has been offset by lack of market access. He does not own any energy stocks currently.
WEAK BUY
There are no big projects going through and Notley's move to proffer WCS oil price was smart. This is one of the top Canadian oil companies. He's not in this space, but likes CNQ.
BUY
Crude oil is in a secular bear market, and it should top out around $80 in the next three years. He predicts a strong year in 2019, 2020 to be choppy (avoid oil), then it'll pop in 2021, because energy is a late-cycle play. He likes oil now for the next six months. He recommended CNQ this past week to clients. CNQ has had a good uptrend since the start of 2019. This could return to $46. Likes CNQ through December 2019, but be cautious in 2020.
HOLD
Energy is tricky with a four year bear market. However, valuations are starting to get cheap enough. He does not own this. One of the largest producers. He just sees better opportunities in the space. (Analysts’ price target is $47.55)
HOLD
A super-high quality company. They are bidding on the Jackfish assets and maybe the market is afraid they will over pay. Along with Suncor, the only assets in the space that are held by institutional investors. He thinks they will not benefit from a new flush of cash by investors, as they may sell this conservative holding in favour of stocks with more torque. (Analysts’ price target is $47.00)
