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.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

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.

DON'T BUY

Would be on his list of potential purchases. Have done a fabulous job. Likes its oil sands involvement. Too expensive at 14 X earnings.

BUY

Has dropped from $75 to $58 and yet oil prices hit $71. At a fairly attractive price.

BUY

Good management team. A natural gas producer. Also have the ability to be an oil sands player in the next few years. A core holding.

BUY

Had some disappointing results because of their hedging. Also they didn't get as much drilling done as they expected.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 18/06. Up 9.) They watch their costs very closely. Have an interesting oil sands project Horizon.

BUY

A fabulous story. Great management.

HOLD

Great Canadian success story. Pure producer, so it's going to be volatile. Embarking on a pretty major oil sands expansion. Oil sands expansions tend to have a lot of cost overruns. There may be a better opportunity on any overrun announcements.
