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.

COMMENT

Sitting near its 200 day moving average of around $80. Not ready to go yet. May need another month. Believe oils/gas will be the leaders in the next up-leg.

BUY

Canadian Natural Rsrcs (CNQ-T) would probably be his Top Pick in the oil sector on the Canadian side but he also has positions in Encana (ECA-T), Suncor (SU-T) as well as Precision Drilling (PD-T).

BUY

The Horizon project is a company maker. Due to come on in Sept but won't be fully commissioned until the 4th quarter. Stock dropped with the price of oil. Fundamentally came out with excellent earnings and cash flow. Compelling value at these levels.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

In the short run, you can see the oil/gas stocks going lower, especially if oil goes below $110. Very close to its level earlier this year, which technically means it is still in an uptrend. Likes the entry point here. Look for weakness to get in. As long as it doesn't seriously undercut the $72/$73 level you could see a rebound that could take it near its old high.

BUY

The model price is $94.14, almost a 25% positive differential. Great opportunity for people that don't have a position.

BUY

Believes that oil demand is growing globally compared to North America and this one is at a good price.

WATCH

Trades with the oil stocks so has been pulling back pretty substantially recently. It's now at the point where it pulled out for the last rally last March. He would like to see it hold here. If you own, watch for it to hold $72/$73.

TOP PICK

Will be producing cash flow from oil sands very soon. 3.4X next year's cash flow is extraordinarily cheap. Feels that oil has gone down as far as it is going to.

PARTIAL SELL

If you’re an oil “value” player there is not a lot of value in the oil patch right now. A lot of the valuation is based on prices of oil and natural gas, which have had big runs. If you are a short-term investor, you might look at taking some money out of the oil sands.

BUY

Very levered to oil as well as being one of the larger players in gas in Western Canada. What is very attractive right now is that its oil sands piece is almost complete. An attractive entry point and a great name to own.

TOP PICK

Lots of questions about the oil sands, but they are also very active in other areas including natural gas deep drilling in Canada and offshore Africa. Investors should look at the cash flow after the project is completed. Next Year Horizon should be throwing off $4 in cash flow. A conservative way to play natural gas and the oil sands.

PARTIAL SELL

Thinks it will cash flow around $10 a share this year. Selling at 3X Book, which is a little high in his estimation. He has been taking some profits.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Best company in western Canada. Spend extra cash in oil sands projects. Will generate tones of cash with $135 oil. Downside if price of oil comes down.

PARTIAL SELL

His Fair Market Value is over $250 based upon current oil prices. He is getting nervous about the price of energy. If you own, consider selling bits and pieces.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Feels a stock split is coming in the next couple of quarters. Ideally, he would like to buy it a little bit lower but even in the low $90's he would Buy.
