Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is regarded as one of the best-managed companies in the Canadian energy sector, known for its disciplined management, diverse asset base, and consistent returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Many analysts highlight its strong cash flow generation capability, allowing it to be profitable even when oil prices dip to as low as $40-$50 per barrel. While the overall sentiment about the long-term price of oil remains bearish, with predictions suggesting lower prices in the coming years, experts agree that CNQ's operational efficiencies and low-cost production give it a competitive edge. Despite short-term price volatility linked to fluctuating oil prices, the consensus is that CNQ remains a solid investment for long-term holders, albeit with caution regarding entry points. The stock is well-positioned to weather market cycles, but timing purchases based on oil price movements is recommended.

Suncor,SU

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.

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.

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.)
