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.

TOP PICK
Still likes it. A core holding. Nothing has changed. Their horizon project coming on in the Mid next year. Natural gas inventory, which will pay off when the prices come around.
PAST TOP PICK
Then $65.34 A core holding. Still likes the stock.
BUY
He still likes it. It is gas play and it has done well. They are expanding outside of Alberta. One of the better plays.
DON'T BUY
Not expecting the multiple cost overruns that we’ve seen in some of the other oil-sands projects. Has a little bit of upside potential
TRADE
They do most of their business in Alberta. They are a major gas producer and building in the oil sands. May be at the bottom and probably will see some upside.
PARTIAL BUY
One of the best run companies in Canada. Have a great oil sands project that has been on budget and on time. Very good management. There will be some volatility. You could buy half your position and the rest if it falls.
TOP PICK
Has great visible growth, basically through Horizon. They will add another 100,000 barrels to that in the next year or so. Possibly the most oily weighted name.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 16/06. Up 34.3%.) Still likes.
DON'T BUY
Might come back. A little too expensive currently?
BUY
Wish he owned it. Best performing of senior oil stocks in the market this year. Expect this to perform well. A name comfortable buying.
TOP PICK
Past top pick (October 16, 2006) Up 38%. Estimated cash flow is $11. Costs rising across the board, have done well.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
One of these great Canadian oil/gas companies. Great exposure to oil sands. Also production in the North Sea and West Africa. Had a little bit of a run, so wait for a pullback.
BUY
About 40% exposure to natural gas. In the process of building the Horizon oil sands project giving it good potential but currently high costs and environmental woes. Attractive here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 16/06. Up 23.3%.) Company is calling for $4 in cash flow from its Horizon oil sands project. With a 10 to 12 price to cash flow ratio on the $4, it would tack on $40-$50 onto their price. Good upside.
HOLD
Has outperformed its peers. Trading at around 6X cash flow, which is pretty reasonable. Have some great properties. Rapidly growing production profile.
