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.

PARTIAL BUY

One of his favourite global, large-cap oil/gas stocks. Phenomenally run. Excellent management. If you don't own and oil/gas stock, take a position and gradually add to it on weakness.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 28/05. Up %.) Continuing to Buy for new accounts. Estimated cash flow per share for 07 is $11.50.

BUY

Have gone through the wringer a bit and would be a buy at this price Likes the oils in general.

BUY

The model price is $68.34, a 16% positive differential.

DON'T BUY

Good long-term chart, but earlier this year it topped and is now wallowing. If you have held it for the long-term, look for your exit point now. For a short-term trader, it has hit a resistant point 3 times and it’s time to sell.

BUY

Oil sands play. Understand the business and they’re smart operators.

BUY

One of the pre-eminent oil/gas producers. A lot of natural gas. Good long-term hold.

BUY

The gassiest of the majors and has been suffering because of the weak price in gas. If we get a normal winter, the gas surplus will be removed fairly rapidly. Low multiple at 5 X cash flow. Cheap.

BUY

Tremendous exposure to the oil sands which they are developing steadily, so the long-term outlook for reserves is excellent. In the short term, their Fair Market Value is very high relative to the current price.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 26/06. Up 18.9%.) Looking out 3 years, there is probably $20-$30 Oil Sands production that is not reflected in the price. Also have a holding in the horizon project.

BUY

Developing the Horizon oil sands project with engineering. One of the few companies that are bringing things in on time and on budget. Diverse with one 1/3 gas, 1/3 heavy oil and 1/3 light oil. Trading at a very reasonable multiple.

WATCH

Probably one of the best run big oil/gas companies in the world. Have enough properties that they can continue to grow over the next 10 years. In the short term, he is cautious on oil, but the medium to long term is tremendously bullish.

BUY

Looking at a 2008/2009 timeline for their Horizon project to come on. Have given out about 50% of the construction and has come in on budget. Very cheap. Strong takeover candidate.

BUY

The Horizon project will be coming on next year. Awfully close to the point where he would be comfortable stepping in. Have some of the best properties in North America. OK to buy for a long-term view.

COMMENT

One of Canada’s finest companies. Historically a conventional oil/gas company. Good at acquisitions. In the Horizon Oil Sands project. Doesn’t like that they give adjusted earnings disclosure, which excludes stock based compensation.
