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

TOP PICK

Produces a wall of cash. Oil sands as well as conventional oil and gas. Very profitable last quarter. Very well managed. Will go from 100,000 bpd up to 500,000 from oil sands with virtually unlimited resource life. 2/3 rds oil / 1/3 rd gas, which he likes. Just raised the dividend 45%. They are going to split their stock and do stock buy-back.

COMMENT

Good company, good management. For the long-term, 2 years-5 years you will definitely make money. Energy always tends to be tied to a strengthening economy. Short term, it could get a little worse.

BUY

Will be throwing off huge cash flows $20-$25 in 2-3 years from their Horizon project and the company will be debt free. The cash could be used for dividend increases but likely for acquisitions and share buybacks. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) Good company. Prefers Crescent Point CPG-T).

BUY

One of the strongest names and can easily be $85. A stock split would be positive for the name. Would suggest picking it up on weakness. Tremendous torque to heavy oil and the horizon project. It has been a tremendous cash generator.

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%.)
