This summary was created by AI, based on 97 opinions in the last 12 months.
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is regarded as one of the best-managed companies in the Canadian energy sector, known for its disciplined management, diverse asset base, and consistent returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Many analysts highlight its strong cash flow generation capability, allowing it to be profitable even when oil prices dip to as low as $40-$50 per barrel. While the overall sentiment about the long-term price of oil remains bearish, with predictions suggesting lower prices in the coming years, experts agree that CNQ's operational efficiencies and low-cost production give it a competitive edge. Despite short-term price volatility linked to fluctuating oil prices, the consensus is that CNQ remains a solid investment for long-term holders, albeit with caution regarding entry points. The stock is well-positioned to weather market cycles, but timing purchases based on oil price movements is recommended.
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.
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.
(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.
(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.
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.
