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.

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.

BUY

A must own stock. The big driver of this is Horizon, which will generate about $3 billion in free cash flow over the next 3 years.

TOP PICK

Probably one of the best managed oil/gas companies in Canada. Sorted out some of the production problems they had late 2010 on their Horizon project. Produced 72,000 barrels a day in January, up to 82,000 in February and looking for 100,000-105,000. Production goal is 110,000. Just raised their dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 12/09. Up 32.85%.) Still likes. One of his largest oil weightings. Good growth prospects.

BUY

Likes its position and its Horizon project. Has heavy oil and natural gas. Multiple is still relatively inexpensive. Balance sheet is in good shape.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 30/09. Up 31.22%.) Starting to break out of its range. Still a Hold.

BUY

All oils in Canada look fantastic. There has been a nice pullback as well as a good rotation out of natural materials into banks. His model price is $95.89, a 27.5% upside.

BUY

Oil leveraged and has been very successful in wrapping up their oil sands production on the Horizons project, which should provide future growth for them. 1st phase of 100,000 BOE's with a target of 500,000. Likes the long-term fundamentals. Recent News release indicating a stock split. 0.8% yield, which they have room to increase.

DON'T BUY

Gas focused so has languished a little. Probably has good value if gas recovers but he is concerned given the advent of shale gas and gas prices could stay low for a long time. His approach would be to buy the energy sector through an ETF.

BUY

Growing production quickly and generating significant free cash flow. Just increase the dividend 45% and will be doing a stock split.

TOP PICK

Had some production issues at the new Horizon project but seem to have those sorted out. Production has been up in January and February and targeting 110 thousand barrels a day out of Horizon alone. Will be generating huge amounts of cash flow and sees cash flow growing to $13-$14 a share next year. Just announced a dividend increase and he sees more of those coming. 1/3 gas and 2/3 oil.
