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.

Valuation

Fair Value

BUY

The Horizon project is still going on and costs may have come down a bit. Very cheap. Good story and long-term growth.

COMMENT

You want to be careful with any company, particularly in the energy sector, to be sure you are buying a diversified company and will sustain and weather in an economic downturn.

BUY

Technically, it is acting very well. Has a lot of exposure to oil sands. You could own this for a couple of years if your view is oil is working its way higher.

COMMENT

Probably has the best oil leverage. Recognized by international investors as a "go to" name.

TOP PICK

Strategy: Buy this ($44.13?) and 1) Sell Aug $46 Calls @ $9.10 2) Sell Aug $46 Puts @ $10.70 for a net cost of $24.33. For selling the Call option you agree to sell the shares for $46. For selling the Put options you agree to buy more shares at $46. Only one of those options will have any value in August.If stock is above $46 your return is $46 divided by your net cost of $24.33 giving an 81% return.If stock is below $46, you have to buy another block of shares at $46. The $46 plus the $24.33 net cost, your average cost is $34.23, which is a very good investment.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 30/07. Down 40%.) Horizon project should hit 75% of production capacity of 77,000 barrels next year. Execution risks are very low. Looking for 25% growth per share next year. Strong balance sheet.

COMMENT

Likes this one because it has some profit growth right now. His preference would be Imperial Oil (IMO-T), Canadian Oil Sands (COS.UN-T), Nexen (NXY-T) and Husky (HSE-T). However, ROE levels are about to erode.

TOP PICK

A lot of the senior oil companies in Canada have been crushed. Trading around 4X next year's cash flow. The Horizon oil sands play, which has been a big cap X drag, is just about done. This will add a lot of cash flow.

COMMENT

Great trading fundamentals and great quality characteristics. Market direction can still impact you. You could buy this, but he would Short something else like Niko (NKO-T) as a pairs trade.

DON'T BUY

Below its 50-day moving average of about $55 and the 200-day moving average of $76. Has to make a base.

DON'T BUY

Oil prices have continued to move lower and he would stay on the sidelines.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Energy prices will rebound. This one is at a ridiculous valuation.

BUY

Lots of reserve life. For energy plays, he prefers royalty trusts so that he can get a big income stream and sit on yield. If you are positive on energy prices going forward, this is very reasonable right now.

TOP PICK

Change in the Alberta royalty fees significantly benefits this company. Have debt because they just built their oil sands. It will be a low cost producer so they will be on top of their debt very quickly.

TOP PICK

A leading Canadian oil/gas producers. International footprint. Relatively low operating costs. Just released Q3 results and it is in good shape to produce from its oil sands in 09.
