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.

DON'T BUY

His model price is $72.39 so doesn't have much more room to go.

BUY

A good way to participate in the oil sands. It is a leading company.

BUY

Likes their involvement in the tar sands and feels there is $20/30 of hidden value in its Horizon project.

BUY

Broadly diversified geographically. Very good at maintaining its costs. Trades in and around its peer group average. Still sees some upside.

HOLD

This is now being more looked at on the oil sands and US investors are getting more interested.

TOP PICK

Last year's earnings were up 40%. Cash flow was up 33%. Looking for a 10% volume growth this year which will mean another 20% growth in cash flow. This stock gives you 100% of a brand-new plant in the oil sands to be constructed this year.

BUY

An incredibly well run company. If you have a long term view on oil, it's a great stock to own. Incredible managment.

TOP PICK

Good liquidity. Well managed. Their watch their costs very closely. Has a number of exciting projects in front of it. Likes their Horizon project. Well diversified.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 15/05. Up 14%.) Very cheap statistically. Cash flow this year is projected to be close to $12 rising to $15 next year because of a reduction in hedges. A great way to play the oil sands.

BUY

Quality company. You have oil, gas and oil sands. They have the Horizon project in the oil sands and will be spending a large amount of money over the next several years which should produce a large amount of oil. A good company for the long-term.

HOLD

If you have a lot of this, he would recommend that you sell some and hold some. Should go higher, but is concerned that something could go wrong with the sector.

BUY

A good company, but thinks that Talisman (TLM-T) is a better value.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 18/05. Up 10%.) Likes the commodity. Oil sands is not represented in its price.

WAIT

Quite cheap on a multiple basis. There is enough volatility in the oil price and the stock price that if you want to own it longer-term you can wait for the mid-$50’s. You definitely want to own it longer-term.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 4/05. Up 24%.) He is using a 2 to 3 year view on his Top Picks and in the short term, this one is probably fully priced. Wait for a pullback.
