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.

TOP PICK

Best managed oil/gas in Canada. Has a good mix geographically and product. Its oil sands project Horizon comes on stream in the 3rd quarter of 08. Market is not giving it full value for this.

BUY

Really likes this one.

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.
