Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ-T) is viewed positively by experts for its strong management, solid balance sheet, and ability to generate cash flow even at low oil prices. Many analysts praise CNQ's long-term operational efficiency, citing a robust dividend history and the promise of sustained cash returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. While some experts caution about the impact of fluctuating oil prices on the stock's performance, many believe it remains a core holding in energy portfolios due to its low-cost production and diversified asset base. The consensus suggests that while the oil market faces challenges, CNQ is well-positioned to weather these conditions and benefit from any eventual recovery in oil prices.

Consensus

Buy

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

BUY

Cdn Nat Resources (CNQ-T) or Trans Canada (TRP-T)? Likes and owns both companies. Risk profiles are quite different. This one is oil/gas producer and their upside producing more commodity.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Buy on pullbacks. Lots of geopolitical things. If they die down we could see a set back on oils and it would be a good opportunity to get in.

BUY

Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) or Suncor (SU-T)? He is traditionally underweight large index names. His sweet spot is intermediates and small-caps. However this one would be the exception.

BUY

Fabulous entry point. Had some issues again with Horizon oil sands production but these things happen. Have many, many years of reserves in the ground and they will grow. Low valuation to cash flow.

STRONG BUY

Likes this stock a lot and has been buying. Very attractive right now. Cheap. Some of the operational issues with Horizon upgrader are behind it.

HOLD

He would rather own the ones with a higher yield but he wouldn't sell this one if you own. Has a target of $48.

HOLD

Recently got hit pretty hard because of a maintenance issue. Sometimes this is a buying opportunity. There are other things he likes better such as Crescent Point (CPG-T). Good quality company and probably will overcome their problems.

WAIT

Has pulled back because of the shutdown of Horizon for some unplanned maintenance. Company hasn't said much about this. They are a great operator and this problem will be resolved. They do have natural gas properties that they could focus on it that environment changed.

TOP PICK

A big heavyweight in the Canadian market. This can generate huge cash flows. He is bullish on oil and believes it will stay where it is and move slightly higher. Emerging market is still strong.

BUY

Because of what they are doing at Horizon they are throwing off huge amounts of cash and will pay down debt or acquire other companies. He may double his holdings.

DON'T BUY

Suncor (SU-T) would be a better buy right now based on valuation. It is also a more liquid stock with more training in the US. Likes this company and the space it is in. Trading at 6X cash flow. Doesn't feel there is much more upside.

BUY

Very well run and a quality stock. Has moved from being gas oriented to a good, well diversified exploration/production story. Good for a long-term hold.

DON'T BUY

Probably had a pretty good move and would go elsewhere to look for elsewhere such as Crescent point, husky or Suncor.

WAIT

Within the next month (Jan 23 until June 15) it will have seasonal strength. This sector significantly under performed the market in 2011 so will outperform the market in 2012.

TOP PICK

Been in the penalty box for a little while. Had a few problems last year with the upgrader fire, but if you believe in the oil story, it only gets better from here. Has at least 20%-25% upside over the next year and is relatively stable.
