Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) presents a mixed outlook among experts, with many praising its robust management and long-life assets. The company benefits from its low breakeven point and solid free cash flow generation. However, concerns about the price of oil and geopolitical influences weigh on sentiment, leading to recommendations to consider trimming positions after a notable run-up. While analysts highlight the strong dividend record and favorable fundamentals, there is caution as the energy sector faces pressures from potential oversupply and regulatory challenges. Overall, CNQ is viewed as a solid long-term hold with strong recovery potential in favorable market conditions.

BUY

Growing their production. Feels oil is going to be a good place to be. You have to own this or Suncor (SU-T) in your portfolio. You have oil production for as long and as far as the eye can see. Oil prices will bounce around, but there is certainty in the longness of the reserves that you cannot get from anybody else. Also, they are not blowing up the balance sheet to pay out a dividend.

BUY

Strength from end of Jan to April and July to Sep. July to Sep. was not bad last year and this year it is in a long term upward trend and just broke it last week. Stick with it, buy some more.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) Showed a bit of a rebound. Full differential exposure.

COMMENT

A lot of the materials are starting to look pretty good and this one is no exception. Chart shows a nice basing from 2012 into the latter part of 2013 with a series of higher highs and higher lows and then a breakout at around $33. A healthy, healthy looking chart. Could even be called an ascending triangle which is a pretty bullish formation. Looks great.

WAIT

(Market Call Minute) Long term unbelievable buy and he is going to wait for the right time to buy.

DON'T BUY

Fair market value is not going anywhere. Stock is at a resistance level. However, a number of the oil stocks are looking interesting. So maybe oils stocks in general are getting ready to move.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Energy stocks are relatively cheap right now. A play for the next 5 years. Be patient and you can probably pick it up for $32 ish in the next couple of months.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) A little bit better outlook for oil in 2014 and margins may expand.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Dec 10/12, Up 25.55%) WTI peak reflects some refining turn-around. Thinks it will drop next year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 11/12. Up 9.09%.) She has purchased more in the past year. Inexpensive multiple. Have oil exposure but tons of upside to natural gas. Very well run company. Still a Buy.

BUY

One of the larger Canadian producers. Started as a natural gas producer but is now a much more oil sand player. They have their Horizon project up and running and expanding. Had some environmental challenges in their other oil sand properties where they had to cut back in production, which has been putting a bit of a pressure on the stock in the last little while. He believes they have it under control and will surely be able to get back to producing what they used to. Well-run company and low cost.

BUY

There has been a return of interest to the large-cap Canadian names over the last month or so, predominantly from the US. This company is still quite attractive. Growth and free cash flow are quite tremendous over the next number of years. Valuation is quite attractive.

BUY

Thinks this is a good time to step in. They’ve had terrific results. Increased the dividend. 60%. They are really a power house producing 700,000 barrels a day with good growth prospects. Has a 12 month of $40 target.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 14/12. Up 20.8%.) Increased the dividend. 60% in the quarterly earnings, which makes a 90% increase in the dividends year-over-year. That shows you how confident they are going forward. Very diverse company. We are going to see better results from Horizon. Thinks they are close to firing on all cylinders. Cheap and he sees high $30s a year out.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 10/12. Up 18.91%.) Still likes. Canadian producers have traded at big discounts to the US producers for many years but we are hearing from analysts that they are starting to get a lot of calls from Europe and the US where investors have made a lot of money and are now looking at Canada, where things have not moved. This has a lot of leverage to oil prices. Great name to hold.
