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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 17/08. Down 13.93%.) Pays a low dividend but it is growing steadily. Still likes.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Fabulous company. Horizon is now on and is ramping up. Using the cash flow to pay down debt. Would be a fabulous by $55-$60.

TOP PICK

Has been one of the best performing oil/gas stocks but he thinks it will go higher because it is increasingly focusing on heavy oil and oil sands. Had originally been slated to do 100,000 barrels a day but has been doing intermittently 120,000. One of the benchmark names that you want to own.

BUY

Street-smart management. Goliath of a project that is delivering. Oil will be same place a year from now. Gas will be $1 higher. Over the longer term will be a big winner.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 30/09. Up 3.51%.) Very connected to oil prices and heavy oil differentials and this is one of the best beneficiaries of that. Operationally, the Horizon oil sands project is adding 100,000 barrels a day this year.

BUY

One of the cleanest, best run companies in Canada. Thinks that the Suncor (SU-T) and PetroCan (PCA-T) merger will take some time to work through. A little on the expensive side but you can sit back and what should grow over time.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 5/08. Down 9.28%.) Sold it last fall when the markets were in the tank. On his potential Buy list.

BUY

Low cost producer in natural gas and heavy oil. Oil sands project is coming in on time, a little off budget. He is hoping the operating costs are somewhere in the high $20's.

HOLD

This is one of the benchmarks in the energy industry. Selling at a reasonable price at around 6X forecasted cash flows. Also have large tax pools. Well capitalized and good prospects going forward.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 22/08. Down 24.73%.) One of the top names in the patch. Horizon project is now up and producing. International investors go to this name. Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 13/08. Up 24.58%.) Successful in bringing their Horizon project online. A lot of gas exposure has been holding it back. Still a Buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 5/08. Down 12.3%.)

TOP PICK

Earnings come out in early August but would Buy some today and some afterwards. Did a good job at hedging some of their oil at higher prices. Their big growth vehicle is the Horizons project that is probably becoming one of the gold standards in the oil sands.

COMMENT

Very high quality name. Fantastic assets and management. If you are a trader, try to buy in the $50's and take profits in the $70's.
