Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is widely recognized among experts as a well-managed company with strong fundamentals. Many reviews highlight its significant oil and gas reserves, consistent dividend increases, and ability to generate substantial free cash flow, particularly in high oil price environments. The company is noted for its stability, with a business model that allows it to perform well even when oil prices are low. While there is some caution regarding the cyclical nature of the energy sector and the current geopolitical factors influencing oil prices, experts generally view CNQ as a solid long-term investment. Some analysts suggest that caution is warranted in the short term given recent price fluctuations in oil and energy stocks overall, but the overall sentiment remains positive for long-term holders.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

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.

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.
