Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is regarded as one of the best-managed companies in the Canadian energy sector, known for its disciplined management, diverse asset base, and consistent returns to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Many analysts highlight its strong cash flow generation capability, allowing it to be profitable even when oil prices dip to as low as $40-$50 per barrel. While the overall sentiment about the long-term price of oil remains bearish, with predictions suggesting lower prices in the coming years, experts agree that CNQ's operational efficiencies and low-cost production give it a competitive edge. Despite short-term price volatility linked to fluctuating oil prices, the consensus is that CNQ remains a solid investment for long-term holders, albeit with caution regarding entry points. The stock is well-positioned to weather market cycles, but timing purchases based on oil price movements is recommended.

WEAK BUY

Not as bullish on the oil/gas sector so wouldn't be positive on this one. Haven't heard much on their Horizon project lately. Also have a big gas exposure.

HOLD

He has a model price of $61.24 but his model price has been falling because earnings have been falling.

BUY

Expect that crude will be going higher. A good stock on a 3 to 5 year basis. Gives you exposure to the oil sands.

DON'T BUY

A great name, but a little pricey right now. Would be more interested at $50.

BUY

If you like the price of oil, this would be a good stock to buy. Could be a take-out target. Well off its high, so at a good price.

BUY

Has a large interest in the oil sands which he likes. Extremely important major producer. Good long-term hold.

BUY

One of his 3 top favourites.

BUY

The model price is $63.95 which is a 17% positive differential.

BUY

About 1/3 gas, 1/3 heavy oil and 1/3 light oil. Likes the Horizon project.

BUY

Likes at these levels. Will eventually be taken out. There could still be continuing corrections down. You can buy now for the longer term.

TOP PICK

Sold half his position and would look for a re-entry point in the $44/45 area.

BUY

The one commodity that has stood up quite well during this market turn down has been oil. We are now getting into the hurricane season, uncertainty in the Middle East, South America and Russia. Likes gas oriented producers.

BUY

Excellent example of a high quality stock. If oil prices drop, it has natural gas, light oil production, heavy oil production and an option on an oil sands play. Would add to this with the present low prices. Great long-term play.

TOP PICK

Going to cash flow about $10 this year, and that's with 30% of production hedged. Assuming a $60 oil, it historically trades at 5.5 X cash flow which gives you $55. That means the Horizon oil sands project is free.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 5/06. Down 13%.) Has dropped with all energy stocks. Not adding at this time.
