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

BUY

There are other energy names he would go after first. When talking energy, you have to talk about the whole sector as it is really predominately based on the oil price and he feels it will go higher yet, although it may pull back a bit in the short term.

BUY

Feels we are in the sweet spot of a very strong rally in the energy market which could go on for some time. Very well situated with their position in Millenium and what they are doing offshore.

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.
