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.

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

HOLD

Gave quite a good sell signal quite close to the top but now it has met its down side target. You could let some go if you are up a lot. Nothing wrong with it. Well run company.

BUY

If longer term, it could take longer term to play out.

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.
