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.

Valuation

Fair Value

BUY

Sees higher highs in spite of the oil prices.

BUY

Very good company. When looking at oil companies, look for ones with long reserves and a safe country. Be prepared to hold for 3 to 5 years. It will stay at least where it is and probably will move up somewhat.

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.
