Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is widely recognized among experts as a well-managed company with strong fundamentals. Many reviews highlight its significant oil and gas reserves, consistent dividend increases, and ability to generate substantial free cash flow, particularly in high oil price environments. The company is noted for its stability, with a business model that allows it to perform well even when oil prices are low. While there is some caution regarding the cyclical nature of the energy sector and the current geopolitical factors influencing oil prices, experts generally view CNQ as a solid long-term investment. Some analysts suggest that caution is warranted in the short term given recent price fluctuations in oil and energy stocks overall, but the overall sentiment remains positive for long-term holders.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

DON'T BUY

The problem is that they had a couple of hiccups with the plant. It happens, but it has happened twice in a short period of time. A credibility loss with management. Still a great company otherwise.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 6/11. Down 20.2%.) Had a fire last year which knocked them out of production for longer than expected. Also had a fire in Horizon this year. Still the best managed oil company in Canada.

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.
