This summary was created by AI, based on 92 opinions in the last 12 months.

Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) is widely regarded as one of the best-run companies in the Canadian oil sector, characterized by its stable asset base and consistent dividend increases over the past 26 years. Experts emphasize the company's strong management team, operational efficiency, and ability to navigate through volatile oil prices while maintaining profitability even at lower price points. Many analysts also note CNQ's robust cash flow generation and shareholder-friendly policies, including significant capital returns through dividends and share buybacks. While opinions vary regarding timing for new investments, there is a general sense of optimism about CNQ's long-term value, especially in light of expected challenges in the oil market due to global economic conditions. However, some caution against the current valuation being on the higher side, suggesting potential volatility if oil prices retreat.

TOP PICK
Balanced production very nicely among natural gas, traditional conventional oil and heavy oil and tend to move in the appropriate direction depending on commodity prices..
BUY
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-t) or Suncor (SU-T)? Both are good but prefers CNQ because they have already come out with their capital budget, which is on the upside but Suncor has not. This is a fantastic company that is very concerned on return of capital.
BUY
If you want to buy something for a very long time, this is the one to own. Sees the company raising the dividend.
BUY
Likes it for the growth in the oil sands. Cheap compared to the rest of the group. CapX is in line with expectations.
HOLD
From a larger perspective there are 2 stocks, Suncor (SU-T) and this one, that you could own for a very long time but neither have delivered any significant returns this year. This would be his 1st choice of these two but there are better ones, such as Crescent Point (CPG-T) out there that gives a 7% yield while you are waiting.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Well managed oil/gas and it’s on her watch list. Very successful in operating their oil sands project Horizon. Wanting to Buy in the$35 level. Low yield.
COMMENT
Thinks oil will be staying at a higher price level for an extended period of time. Thinks stock will be range bound unless oil moves above $100 a barrel.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 11/09. Up 17%.)Great name. Their oil sands project Horizon is the catalyst for it. A cash flow machine.
COMMENT
Change to SAGD technology? They won’t change their existing processes as they have invested billions and it wouldn’t be worth their while. If oil got over $100, then this would be a possible method for surrounding areas.
BUY
Really likes it. It is a really well run company with really good assets. Very cost effective when they brought projects on. Gas is a very difficult situation but he does like oil at these levels and makes the stock look cheap.
BUY
One of the higher quality, better-managed companies in the oil patch. It tends to surprise people on the upside. Last quarter ahead of expectations. Making good margins. Can be a core holding for a lot of portfolios.
BUY
Likes it. Likes the real estate they sit on. Stock has a long way to run. Dividend will go up as oil prices go up.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 18/09. Up 6.08%.)
BUY
Great fan of the company. If he was adding a name today, it would be CNQ.
