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.

Valuation

BUY

Suncor (SU-T) or Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T)? Owns and likes both. The better one right now on a valuation basis is CNQ and you get a little bit more bang for your buck. More production and cheaper valuation. In a diversified portfolio you can own both of them and be very happy.

BUY

Have evolved from pure natural gas to largely a balanced, especially oil sand player. Very solid management. A long-term, solid, core holding. Buy more on pullbacks but you can buy today.

BUY

Bigger, more mature producer, more predictable. Potential to go into the mid-40s. Still buying it right now for new accounts. Prospects of the dividend increasing.

BUY

Switched all of ECA last summer. Likes the heavier exposure to oil. Brought on their oil sands project on time and on budget.

BUY

Operation on their horizons project is second to none. Gives you longer term exposure to oil sands and near-term, natural gas is a big driver for this company. Well run.

COMMENT

If you are a believer that natural gas is likely to go up because of hot summers and cold winters and there will be growth in oil production, this one is likely to do okay. Well managed. Less than 1% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 22/09. Up 16.21%.)

BUY

Really good at execution. Brought Horizon in on time and on budget. Excellent management. If you are a long-term investor and interested in the oil play, this is a good stock to own.

COMMENT

Probably the best long-term hold in the energy sector. Management has proven over and over again operational strength. Horizon project is fully ramped up now and they are talking about in the next phase having a diverse proof of assets that they can draw on with very high returns. Generating significant free cash flow. Buying back shares and reducing debt. Buy when oil prices are pulling back.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

More oil than gas and have been very successful in wrapping up the Horizons oil sands project. Looking for an entry point closer to $35. Likes both near-term and long-term prospects.

TOP PICK

Very strong management and the company is well positioned. Good balance sheet and cash flow.

COMMENT

Chart shows that this has been moving sideways for quite some time. Not exciting in terms of a catalyst for the stock. Has broken below both the 200 and 50 day moving averages. Yield of 6.94%. With the problems in the Gulf, the spotlight is now on the oil sands. Very neutral on this one.

BUY

Good reserves and in a politically stable area. Got sold down dramatically in the past few weeks. Great buy here.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/09. Up 14%.) Covered Call. Buy at $53.65 and write 01/2010 Calls at $7.25.

WEAK BUY

Warm towards companies with oil sands projects.
