Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) has garnered a mixed but generally favorable response from various experts in the energy sector. Many affirm its strong management and operational efficiency, alongside its consistent dividend growth, which has been maintained for over 25 years. Despite concerns regarding fluctuations in oil prices and geopolitical issues impacting energy markets, analysts highlight CNQ's resilience and stability, making it a preferred choice among oil and gas companies in Canada. There's a recurrent theme of cautious optimism, with several reviews indicating it as a long-term hold while suggesting that current valuations may limit short-term upside. The company's ability to generate cash flow even at lower oil prices and its focus on returning capital to shareholders have been positively noted, although there's also recognition of the potential volatility tied to oil market dynamics.

BUY

His model price of $84 suggest even higher valuations to come. Have taken quite a bit off the table.

BUY

When a group becomes a leading group in a market, volatility will increase which means the risk level is going up. The recent pull-back is symptomatic of this and creates an opportunity to buy.

TOP PICK

Likes the energy space and this is one of the cheapest intermediate producers. Sells at 4 X cash flow. Likes the Horizon project. Has a lot of global assets.

HOLD

Taken a little bit of profit but still serious holders.

DON'T BUY

Oil strategic reserve is almost filled and once you get into the seasonal low of the 2nd quarter, feels that oil wil more likely settle back into the $40 range. Likes the company. Has some good growth profiles. The biggest risk is the Horizon project. Will be a major capital expenditure if they go ahead with it. Would take some money off the table if he owned.

BUY

Not enough refining facilities. Large oil sands exposure. Doing well. Will be volatile.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 31/04. Up 34%.) Likes the energy space.

BUY

Positive on the price of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, etc. The demand is not going away and there are supply constraints. Very important to have exposure to this sector.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has had a really strong run which doesn't look like it's going to stop. Buy on any pull-back. One of the best managed companies. Good intermediate term term too. Have massive resources off Trinidad that they're just bringing on stream.

WAIT

One of Canada's finest companies. Exceptional management. Just announced their sanction of their Oil Sands project, Horizon. Likes Oil Sand and will be looking for an opportunity to buy during any weakness in energy prices.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes it, but wouldn't be a buyer at this price. The Horizon Tar Sands project is worth about $15 a share so the price could go to $80.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 24/04. Up 28%.) Still likes, but with their investment in Horizon Oil Sands, it might be a little choppy going. May be a good time to take some profit.

WAIT

Had a good run recently on the news that they are going to go ahead with Horizon and they have the capital to do it. Likes the story and should be a core holding in the large caps. Wouldn't chase it at this price, but on any correction in energy would pick some up.

TOP PICK

The cheapest of all the major Canadian producers. It should sell at 5 X cash flow. Once the Horizon project is up and running, this could be close to 500,000 barrels a day.

BUY

Stock responded very well to the news that they were going to proceed with the heritage project. Technically, the stock is very strong. Seasonality period for energy is from the end of January to the end of May. This particular case started early and will probably end early, i.e. a technical SELL signal will probably come before the end of May.
