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 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.

BUY

Fits into the category of a seasonal oil/gas play. Expects a relative out-performance curve in the next little while. This can include Nexen NXY-T) Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) and Talisman (TLM-T). This one has risen because they have some oil sands assets.

BUY

Just reported and cash flow numbers was above expectation. Had slight cost overruns on the Horizon oil sands project, which starts producing mid-2008.

PAST TOP PICK

Still like it. Buy for new accounts. Are good at cost containment.

HOLD

Has some great visibility, particularly in 08 with Horizon. It's in development, but further along than some of the others. You are not getting a screaming discount.

PAST TOP PICK

A Top Pick Sept 26/06. Up 39%.) One of his favourite stocks in the oil patch. Still a Buy.

BUY

Their Horizon project in the oil sands is a model of how you should run an oil sands project. Have kept the costs down. Growing their gas assets quite nicely. Very well run.

TOP PICK

Have stated they will not have to build an upgrader. This is a huge expense savings.

TOP PICK

Really likes the oil/gas industry right now. Well-run. Oil sands project is coming in on time and under budget. Not expensive.

TOP PICK

Well diversified between natural gas and oil. The big driver is there oil sands project, Horizon, coming on in the late 2008. This will be a cash flow generating machine. They are well positioned on the natural gas side.

BUY

Trading at 4.7 X 2008 numbers. Good production growth. 1/3 gas, 1/3 light oil and 1/3 heavy oil. Well-run.

BUY

3 favourite gas stocks are CNQ (CNQ-T), Rider Resources (RRZ-T) and Vero (VRO-T). This one is the cheapest. Exposure to the oil sands is not being paid for. Current price to cash flow ratio is around 5.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Would prefer it in the low $60's.

TOP PICK

Great company and very well managed. Good assets. Have a play called Pelican Lake and using a special technique to pull the heavier oil. Also have Horizon project where costs have been kept reasonable. Relatively undervalued.
