Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is widely recognized among analysts as a well-managed oil and gas producer with a solid balance sheet and significant free cash flow potential. The company is seen as a stable long-term investment, benefitting from both oil and natural gas production. Many experts highlight CNQ's ability to manage costs effectively and its history of increasing dividends, with some noting their comfort with the stock even at lower oil prices. There is a consensus that the stock performs relatively well, but opinions on timing for entry are mixed, with some suggesting waiting for a pullback before investing. Notably, concerns about oil price volatility loom, and while many analysts are bullish on its long-term prospects, some advise caution in the current energy market climate.

Suncor,SU

HOLD

Into natural gas and the oil sands. Expect CEO will get a phone call as to whether they will split similar to Encana’s (ECA-T) announcement. Likes the outlook for natural gas. Stock price has risen pretty quickly so watch for a pullback before Buying.

TOP PICK

Horizon, their oil sands project comes on this year. Should be full steam by mid-2009. Significantly undervalued by the market.

BUY

Has been looking at this one recently. Trading at a big discount to its peers. Had a big bounce, but it is still cheaper than a number of the other majors. Looking for a big increase in production particularly as you get closer to 2010.

BUY

Likes this one. Should continue to do well. One of the best run companies in the oil/gas sector. Has the ability to grow its reserves and production. Good long-term hold.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Really likes this company. There could be a slight pullback on oil as we are in the shoulder season. Given his bullish long-term view, this is a great long-term hold. You can add to it on weakness.

BUY

Roughly 15%/20% higher in a year. The Horizons oil sands project has taken a long time, but that production is finally coming on stream. The recognition when it comes on and the bump in cash flow, this will do very well.

HOLD

Natural gas is selling at the highest price it has for quite some time. Looks like it wants to go higher. Probably has lots of room to go on the upside.

WEAK BUY

A good long term hold, there may be better ones in the group. You’ll get the right kind of exposure with this.

BUY

Believe in the gas market, the place to be.

BUY

Stock market is pricing oil companies as if oil is $60. So they are all cheap. This one is both gas and oil. Gas has finally recovered in the last few months.

TOP PICK

Likes the Horizon project that is coming on in the latter half of this year. A little more expensive and delayed from what the expectations where but that's not unusual for Fort McMurray. Cash flow will be significant at well over 100,000 barrels a day. 45% natural gas. Good management. (Would treat the Top Picks as a Watch rather than a Buy.)

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Oil/natural gas exposure in North America.

BUY

70% of its production comes from the province of Alberta so it doesn't have a lot of diversity and is subject to the royalty rates. That has affected gas very negatively. However, it has some visibility with the Horizon oil sands project, which looks like it is finally going to come.

BUY

Over the next several years, it will produce over $27 billion in cash, which will allow them to pay off most of their debt.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 5/07. Up 5%.) Their horizon play is undervalued. Taking out the horizon, they trade at 4.5X cash flow compared to their peers of 6.5. Still a Buy.
