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.

DON'T BUY

If you're looking for a long-term “ Buy and Hold”, you have to be very careful right now. Across the board, they have declining profitability.

TOP PICK

Very good management team. Represents good value. They have the Horizons oil sands project that he thinks is very exciting and is well along. On the negative side, he is expecting the company to announce costs have gone up. 1/3 heavy oil, 1/3 natural gas and 1/3 light oil, which is a good commodity diversification. Undervalued.

WAIT

Been in the doghouse because of its oil sands project Horizon. Have done a marvellous job in controlling costs. Once the price of oil/gas stabilize, he will be buying more.

BUY

If you are a long-term holder, this is a good time to buy. Down 20% from its high. Prefers Talisman (TLM-T), Petro Canada (PCA-T) and Encana (ECA-T) better.

BUY

You want to be in an oil sands, especially in operating projects such as Western Oil Sands (WTO-T), Suncor (SU-T) or CNQ (CNQ-T). There are a lot that profess to have great potential, but are yet to be proven.

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.
