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

COMMENT

Likes this company. About a third light oil, a third natural gas and a third heavy oil. Getting a huge cash flow increase with the Horizon project. Scaling this project down because of increasing costs and declining crude prices.

DON'T BUY

Not a bad investment but his view is to stay away from low yield stocks. There is still some uncertainty about oils.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't have the profit characteristics that he wants but will behave like the other oil stocks in that area.

BUY

This is a huge call and leverage on oil. Has tremendous torque to the oil sands with its Horizon project, which is basically done right now. Also has conventional business. If you believe that oil goes higher from here, buy this name in spades.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 30/07. Down 22%.) Good liquid stock with strong assets. Horizon project will be coming on by the end of this year. NAV at about $65 should have a premium given the quality of the assets. Looking beyond 18 months or 2 years it should be a core position. Good 10% to 15% upside when the markets start to revalue stocks on a more normalized commodity price.

COMMENT

When the bull market was on, oil/gas stocks were going up and up. This did better than others. Believes that oil will reach $200 in the long term. Very good company.

TOP PICK

Horizons project starting this quarter. Price to cash flow ratio is less than 2 and should be at least 3. Hold for 3 years.

TOP PICK

Established producer. A “go to” name internationally. Horizon project is about to come on in the next few months. At $100 oil, it generates about $1 billion in free cash flow. Enormous torque to oil prices.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Gas has been oversold. As gas rallies this company is going to do great.

TOP PICK

At the current oil price, oil is not a “back up the truck” buy. It could still have a leg down. This is the low cost producer with free cash flow and inexpensive.

TOP PICK

You want this for the gas and the new oil sands project that is coming on.

PARTIAL BUY

He has a model price of $90.34. If oil falls, this could go to $74 and he would be a buyer at that time. You could buy some now and more at $74.

WATCH

Very attractive price. Primrose is ahead of schedule and Horizon is starting to produce synthetic crude oil in November. As the market that was out in the next few weeks, this is a terrific one to add.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 13/07. Up 6%.) Big attraction going forward is safety of assets. Thinks oil/gas prices will go higher. Tremendous production will be coming out of the Horizon's oil sands project.

TOP PICK

Great asset of 20+ barrels of reserves, mostly in North America and politically friendly places. Horizons oil sands project will start producing next quarter and will be up to 500,000 barrels a day over the next few years. Looking at 13% production growth next year and 7% longer-term. Projecting $30 billion cash flow over the next 3 to 4 years and only $15 billion of capital spending.
