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.

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.

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.
