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

Valuation

Fair Value

BUY

One of his favourite oil exploration/production companies. Great oil sands exposure. Attractive price.

HOLD

Super high quality name. Down 18% this year. Will be ramping up production. Phenomenally well run company. Extremely cheap. NAV of $57. He'll be buying on weakness.

BUY

One of the premier oil weighted companies in Canada. Has been adding at these prices. Looking for the restart of the Horizons project.

BUY

Have a very good inventory of resource plays. Nice mix of oil, oil sands, natural gas and thermal oil. They have decided to focus more on crude. Has a proven record of increasing resources and increasing cash flow per share. Also have the flexibility to add more dollars to natural gas if needed. Good entry point.

TOP PICK

He is using $100 oil prices for this year and 2012. Had a fire at the Horizons project earlier this year but will be coming on stream in August. This will result in about 110 thousand barrels a day in production. That will drive cash flows for the end of this year and into 2012. Expects 15% volume growth between 2011 and 2012. $55 target.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A terrific name. He would be a buyer on dips. A core holding for him. Great potential. Horizon. Number 2 in Gas so if it starts to increase this one will benefit. Oil will slowly march higher over time. Solid growth over time.

STRONG BUY

Good opportunity to get into one of the highest qualities, if not the highest quality oil/gas companies. Really suffered during the 2nd quarter and has lagged the market and the oil/gas index for most of the year beginning with a fire in Horizon in February. Will be up to full production at the end of this quarter. Trades at about 4.5-5 times cash flow.

COMMENT

As a short-term speculator, would you be a Buyer or Seller of this one tomorrow morning? Looking at charts, this has fallen below the 50 day moving average and the 50 day has just crossed the 200 day. Actually you would have been better buying it at the $38 level a few days ago.

BUY

Stock price came back nicely after the Horizon upgrader problem. Good management. Tremendous resources. Good growth profile. He will probably Buy as we come through this current correction.

BUY

People are concerned oil won’t hold $100 because of demand destruction in the US, which he doesn't agree with. CNQ is discounting $80. Buy at $40 for a conservative investor.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick May 28/10, Up 9.94%) some fires in the upgrader and wild fires in Alberta. But a very well managed company, lots of production. If you believe oil is here to stay, you have to hold this one. Good place to buy more.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Will be a buyer if the price goes below $40. 2 things hit this one. Oil sands was a dirty word and they had 20%-23% exposure. Also had a major blow up at Horizon.

BUY

People are waiting for the price of oil to pull back, which is affecting all of the oil stocks. Thinks it will do quite, so not a bad time to buy.

BUY

Outlook for next 6 months is better than the last 6 months. Fire in Horizon has been a drag. This is a very well managed company. Pelican facility near slave lake is shut down because of forest fires. Is over sold right now. Production is going to ramp up.

BUY

Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) or Suncor (SU-T)? Likes both of them. Suncor's Petrocan acquisition is now starting to pay off so as not as pure a resource play as CNQ. CNQ has had some fire problems with their Horizon project but seem to be well positioned. If she could only own one, it would be Suncor.
