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.

Consensus

Valuation

Fair Value

TOP PICK

If you want an oil weighted portfolio, this would be a core holding. Incredible cash machine and solid growth. Will grow and have production of about 640,000 barrels per day. Should throw off about $3 billion in terms of cash flow over the next couple of years.

BUY

Has a model price of $52.21, a 50% upside.

BUY

The 2 for 1 split of the stocks makes it easier for smaller investors to buy. A diversified company with a long-term history, not just oil sands.

WAIT

Good name to own long-term, but he is a bit cautious on oil markets right now.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Tons of free cash flow.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 37.24%.)

PARTIAL BUY

Doing a 2 for 1 stock split on May 21. Normally a positive move for 2-3 days after the split and then eventually, no impact. Positive in that retailer investors will be up to buy more readily. Good price to dip your toe in.

BUY

Talisman (TLM-T) and Canadian Natural Res (CNQ-T), both giant energy companies, are committing enormous resources to natural gas at a time when it seems to be in oversupply and very cheap. Obviously, what these companies see is that although natural gas is cheaper it now, it is the energy of the future.

COMMENT

Had anticipated the correction of 10%. Spinning off a lot of free cash flow now. Would be comfortable owning at this price provided there wasn't a further pullback in the market.

WAIT

Good solid company and oily rather than gassy. Oil is usually a good trade from February 25 until May 9. Expect this one will pull back a little bit more. Look for it to drop to $55. Oil tends to pick up in July, which might be a good time to pick it up.

COMMENT

One of the companies that will perform best amongst the producers. Getting their debt paid down.

COMMENT

Seasonality would have you buy around the end of February and hold until May. We are now getting close to the end. Technicals are still positive but we are getting close where you want to get out.

TOP PICK

Expects oil to close out the year at around $85-$86 and probably $90 at the end of 2011. This company is starting to break out technically. Because analysts are using $70-$75 oil, oil stocks have not moved up with a commodity.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/09. Up 16%.)

BUY

Feels oil is $75-$85 but could spike either above or below if something happens. Currently we are in the middle of the range. Their Horizons project keeps trucking in the oil sands and as it comes along, this stock looks cheap on a price to cash flow.
