Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) presents a mixed outlook among experts, with many praising its robust management and long-life assets. The company benefits from its low breakeven point and solid free cash flow generation. However, concerns about the price of oil and geopolitical influences weigh on sentiment, leading to recommendations to consider trimming positions after a notable run-up. While analysts highlight the strong dividend record and favorable fundamentals, there is caution as the energy sector faces pressures from potential oversupply and regulatory challenges. Overall, CNQ is viewed as a solid long-term hold with strong recovery potential in favorable market conditions.

Consensus

Hold

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

BUY

Likes it because their oil sands project is on budget. It's a commodity, he's expecting that the oil will remain high, natural gas is a bit more uncertain.

BUY

Thinks we are now into a pretty significant leg in the energy story and this is a great way to play.

TOP PICK

Trading at a slight premium to it's peers, but has significant oil sands exposure, that isn't being valued in the price.

WATCH

Has done very well. With the other energy stocks, went into a sleep mode. Then did an inverse head and shoulder pattern which is a very good sign. Wait for the breakout to buy. When it happens it will go higher.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A great company that they've watched very closely. They don't own but could. There may be a better entry point over the summer, but long term it's fine. It could be a takeover candidate, but it's unlikely.

PAST TOP PICK

June last year, then $50.69. Their oil sands project is coming on next year, so the stock is still going to climb, but not to the same extent that it was. If you have it hold it.

PAST TOP PICK

Haven't bought recently, but probably should have.

TOP PICK

Has done quite well recently. Has wti which nobody has, everybody sell a blend of the heaver stuff. The differential has shrunk, but the price that CNQ gets paid has gone up which is very exciting for them. (I didn't understand it ether). They are going to sell it to the US refiners with a lower differential.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 5/7. Up 6%.) has moved in sympathy with the general energy market. Came out with an update on their Horizon project. They have great natural gas resource.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Getting to all-time highs. Conventional production kicks off about $6.5 billion of cash flow. Only need a half of this to continue funding conventional production. The other half is for Horizon, which will have production up in the 3rd quarter of 2008.

BUY

Fits into the category of a seasonal oil/gas play. Expects a relative out-performance curve in the next little while. This can include Nexen NXY-T) Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) and Talisman (TLM-T). This one has risen because they have some oil sands assets.

BUY

Just reported and cash flow numbers was above expectation. Had slight cost overruns on the Horizon oil sands project, which starts producing mid-2008.

PAST TOP PICK

Still like it. Buy for new accounts. Are good at cost containment.

HOLD

Has some great visibility, particularly in 08 with Horizon. It's in development, but further along than some of the others. You are not getting a screaming discount.

PAST TOP PICK

A Top Pick Sept 26/06. Up 39%.) One of his favourite stocks in the oil patch. Still a Buy.
