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.

SU
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.
COMMENT
Suncor (SU-T) or Canadian Natural Resources? Likes the long-term outlook for oil sands. Suncor is the better valuation of the two but nothing wrong with this one. (See Top Picks.)
BUY
Good management brought in Horizons oil sands project on time and under budget. Low cost for a relatively new oil sands project. There will be a few years of production growth. Hasn't kept up with the oil price so relatively cheap.
BUY
Yield of under 1% but it will probably grow. Have a lot of free cash flow in the Horizons project. More of a capital growth stock than a dividend stock.
BUY
Probably a reasonable entry point right now. On her watch list. Has a lower yield than the other energies she holds. Premier operator in their Horizons project is doing very well.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 28/09. Down 5.09%.)
TOP PICK
Growth primarily in oil sands area. Finished phase 1 of Horizons project with about 110,000 barrels a day. Phase 2 and 3 will raise that to .25 million barrels and 4 and 5 will bring it to half a million barrels a day. Strong history of increasing cash flow back to shareholders.
BUY
Likes the growth potential. Not as levered to natural gas as they used to be. Well financed and valuation looks attractive.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Sept 28/09, Down 6% total return) He boosted his weighting in the fund. This and SU are two of the best names in the large cap space. This is a name that is very attractive.
COMMENT
Cenovus (CVE-T) versus Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T)? Both are good companies and both oil oriented with conventional and crude. He prefers something with a significant yield so he owns Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T) instead. (See Top Picks.)
STRONG BUY
Anywhere from $75-$85 in oil prices, Canadian oil companies are very profitable. They just reported an excellent quarter and beat on production and cash flow.
