Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) presents a mixed outlook among experts, with many praising its robust management and long-life assets. The company benefits from its low breakeven point and solid free cash flow generation. However, concerns about the price of oil and geopolitical influences weigh on sentiment, leading to recommendations to consider trimming positions after a notable run-up. While analysts highlight the strong dividend record and favorable fundamentals, there is caution as the energy sector faces pressures from potential oversupply and regulatory challenges. Overall, CNQ is viewed as a solid long-term hold with strong recovery potential in favorable market conditions.

BUY
Conventional heavy oil, natural gas and oil sands. Within this or next year, we will hear more about their shale gas. Hold it forever. Well-financed, low cost producer.
BUY
None of the Canadian oil companies moved higher recently. Likes this name. Not getting credit for its Horizons oil sands. Cheaper than others.
BUY
Could be debt free in 3 or 4 years. Could have share buy backs or dividends or all of the above. Sold it because he wanted a pure oil play.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 30.51%.) Still a Buy.
BUY
Probably his favourite oil/gas holding. Likes their diversity with their oil sands play as well as natural gas. One of the best managed companies in Canada.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 30/09. Up 15.05%.) Still a buy.
BUY
Not looking for as big a year as it had last year. Expect oil will go back over $80 a barrel. Will be a steady performer. We'll be happy to get it up to $80 range.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 10/09, Up 58%) Throws off a huge amount of cash. Core heavy oil business, oil sands and natural gas. They have tones of shale they aren’t telling anyone about. It’s a good management team.
HOLD
A little expensive versus some of the others but a great company with great management. Good mix of oil sands and gas.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 10/09. Up 63.37%.)
TOP PICK
Steam assisted gravity drainage potential could substantially increase their production. 40 to 50 year reserve life with no declines.
COMMENT
A lot of companies trade off the commodity and oil prices have dropped closer to $70, which is why the stock has dropped. Not a lot of sector rotation right now but when it happens this is the one that institutions will go for.
BUY
Price of oil in short term is very different from price in the long term. Demand is soft. Good opportunity to buy CNQ. Could fall to $62 (200 day moving average).
STRONG BUY
The Horizon project is now on and this is one of the better oil sands projects. Also have other production growth. Valuation is cheap. A major player on the global scale.
BUY
Likes this company and the entire sector even if oil doesn't go up a great deal from here. This one is 2/3 oil and 1/3 natural gas.
