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.

Consensus

Buy

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

Suncor,SU

HOLD

Excited about the outlook for natural gas. Getting close to where he would consider it a good entry point. Superb company with superb landholdings. Fairly good production profile. Have been adept at replacing reserves.

BUY

Likes the potential oil sands exposure and the multiple the market should put on the oil sands earnings.

COMMENT

Just announced earnings, which looked pretty good. Exposed to cost overruns that are occurring in the oil sands. Good quality company. Will probably not complete the Horizon project until the fall of 08. For an oil sands play, she prefers Suncor (SU-T).

DON'T BUY

Has had a phenomenal run. Likes their connection with the oil sands. We are now going into a seasonally weak period. Wouldn't get into it right now.

COMMENT

A tremendous growth company. World-class assets. Hasn't dropped off as much as others, so would prefer a Petro-Can (PCA-T) or Imperial Oil (IMO-T) that has more of a diversified integrated feel to it.

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.
