Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) is viewed positively by most experts, recognized for its strong management team and consistent performance amidst fluctuating oil prices. The company benefits from both oil and natural gas production, positioning itself as a resilient player in the energy sector. Many reviews highlight CNQ's robust financial health, including a well-structured balance sheet and substantial cash flow, which supports ongoing dividend payments and share buybacks. Although some analysts express caution, recommending to take profits or wait for better entry points, there’s a general consensus that CNQ can sustain profitability even when oil prices decline significantly. Additionally, its historical performance of returning capital to shareholders through dividends makes it a solid choice for long-term investors.

BUY
They should report about $4 on the quarter. Trading very cheaply.
BUY
If you are a believer in oil/gas and strong commodity prices, but not so much in income, this is a good way to play the oil sands.
BUY
Has disappointed a few people. Went through a fairly major restructuring in terms of selling/buying assets and part of that really dropped their production levels so a number of people backed off on that. He has no problems owning this one.
TOP PICK
Still likes the energy space. This gives you 1st rate exposure to the oil sands through its Horizon project. In the meantime they have some heavy oil production plus great gas production in North West B.C. plus a cash cow in the North Sea. 3.5 X this year's cash flow.
WAIT
A great company with a great asset. Long track record of adding value. In the very short term, would be surprised if it moved significantly up from this point unless there was a spike in oil prices. The 1st phase of Horizon, which comes on about 3 years from now, much of that is discounted in the $40 range.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 16/05. Up 52%.) Still not a bad buy.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Probably the gassiest of the E&P companies. You might want to wait for a little bit of a pull back.
TOP PICK
Stock has been on fire for about 3 years. When oil prices rose, the value of their reserves grew enormously. Have sanctioned an oil sands plant and they own 100% of the project.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Likes the company and management. Likes some aspects of their business. Not a big fan of the conventional oil and gas industry, however they are now building the Horizon project which will be a $10 billion oil sands project and he likes the oil sands. Is hoping for something to trigger a drop in its share price.
PAST TOP PICK
(Was a Top Pick Apr 5/05. Up 32%.) If oil averages $50 a barrel, the net asset value of the stock could be $75/80. The cash flow per share, $10.25 this year and $12.50 next, it is one of the cheaper ones around. It looks like they are going to be able to do the Horizon field in the oil sands by themselves. Good long term holding.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Likes the company. Trading reasonably fairly in terms of its valuation, but it's had a really nice run. Might wait for a slight pull back.
BUY
Has performed exceptionally well. Core operations are growing at a reasonable rate. Generates good cash. Have some oil sand projects. OK for long term hold, but wouldn't buy immediately.
WAIT
There's about $10/12 on the oil sands which isn't in the valuation. If oil pulled back to $54 next week it would be a problem. Could treat as a trade. Really likes the stock.
BUY
Looking at this stock, you have to sort out the short term from the long term. From his perspective, it is very strong and has a considerably higher count in terms of upside potential than where it is trading at currently. Quite bullish on the company.
BUY
Has recently broken out, so not sure how far they're going to go, but expects it will continue for another several months. Should see some more positive earnings. Very reasonable on basic fundamentals, price/earnings multiples.
