Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) has gained recognition among various experts for its robust management, consistent dividend increases, and strong operational performance in the oil and gas sector. Many reviewers endorse it as a well-managed company with a solid balance sheet and low-cost production capabilities, making it a reliable choice for both income and growth within a diversified portfolio. While some analysts express concerns about the volatility of oil prices and their potential impact on CNQ's stock performance in the short term, the general sentiment is that CNQ remains a leading player in Canadian energy with significant reserves and production growth potential. A few experts highlight that in the context of rising geopolitical tensions and supply chain issues, CNQ's operational strength positions it favorably for long-term investors, though they caution about potential short-term fluctuations. The consensus is largely optimistic about CNQ’s ability to weather market cycles due to its low debt levels and commitment to shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks.

WATCH

Getting close to a top. Energy sector tends to bottom right around the end of November each year and tends to peak right around the 1st and 2nd week in June. Sweet spot tends to be from mid-January until the end of May. Watch your technicals very carefully and if you see the “overbought” rolling over, that's a sign to take profits.

WAIT

Looking at this very closely. Had spectacular earnings. Horizon project has started. The next step, costs are going to be down 20%-30%. Going into a seasonally weak period for energy but thinks this could be quite interesting. Would be tempted to wait until the fall.

BUY

Likes most, if not all, Canadian oil companies. Important to have a longer-term outlook and understanding of Canadian oil patch. Be aware of the geopolitical problems such as Pakistan and the Middle East. Canada is the only place with rich, political free oil.

BUY

A good 18-24 month hold. Has about 1/3 heavy oil, 1/3 light oil and 1/3 natural gas. The exciting thing about it is the new Horizon project, which is coming on slowly and ramping its way up to full production. Will throw out a lot of cash flow.

BUY

Everybody needs one predominantly natural gas producer and one predominantly oil producer and some play on the oil sands in their portfolio. Once you have this, he is not sure owning multiple names gets you very far. Good company and has low cost compared to the industry.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Likes the oil sands related names. This company has done a really good job in bringing their projects in on time.

BUY

Bonds are not a strong credit, but credit worthy. If you are doing corporate bonds, buy a number of them and spread your risk around.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute) You need improvement in gas prices.

TOP PICK

It does not matter too much what happens to the price of oil because of increasing oil production.

BUY

Doing well in horizons oil project.

DON'T BUY

Responded quickly when the industry started to deteriorate last year, but valuations are a bit rich. Prefers SU-T

HOLD

This is one she is looking and. Great earnings. Latest earnings report surprised the street. Have started the Horizon project and should be up to full capacity by year-end. Debt level is in a fairly comfortable position. Will be volatile with the price of oil but has a nice hedge position on the price of its production.

COMMENT

Thinks oil is likely to rebound to the $70 level in the next few months.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The reason for owning this is that you are now getting the Horizons oil sands project coming on stream. Over the next several years, this will add $3 to $4 cash flow to a $10 or $11 base of earnings. This makes it very attractive prospect. His Buy point would be $45.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Likes the outlook for oil. This will be one of the major players to own.
