Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) presents a mixed outlook among experts, with many praising its robust management and long-life assets. The company benefits from its low breakeven point and solid free cash flow generation. However, concerns about the price of oil and geopolitical influences weigh on sentiment, leading to recommendations to consider trimming positions after a notable run-up. While analysts highlight the strong dividend record and favorable fundamentals, there is caution as the energy sector faces pressures from potential oversupply and regulatory challenges. Overall, CNQ is viewed as a solid long-term hold with strong recovery potential in favorable market conditions.

Consensus

Hold

Valuation

Fair Value

TOP PICK

Likes the energy space. At 3.2 X this year's cash flow. Not paying very much for its oil sands participation. 1/3 of their production is heavy oil.

BUY

Investors owning this stock are still not paying for the Horizon Oil Sands project which is still a number of years away. Even with this out of the equation, this is one of the cheapest senior producers. Can still make some good money.

TRADE

Q: Switch from CNQ to Talisman? A: Saw some good announcements today that Talisman was going to grow production by 5% and they have a good balance sheet, but likes CNQ management which is very focused on shareholders' growth.

BUY

Much more focused on natural gas versus heavy oil now. In the short term, the spread on heavy oil is too large, so they are not making any money on this side. Longer term, this is a brilliant company and very cheap.

BUY

Had decent production growth in '05. Intermediate to long term they have solid production growth opportunities through their Horizon project in the Oil Sands. There's a broad global audience for this stock. Valuations are quite cheap.

BUY

Excellent management and properties. Moving into Oil Sands which they view positively for the long term. Good long term hold.

BUY

A decent entry point would be around $50 and a great entry point would be $46/47. Would be one of two of his favourite energy stocks. Good gas/oil mix and some exposure overseas. Good production growth.

TOP PICK

One of the cheapest on a Price to Cash Flow basis. Also likes their focus in North America.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 8/04. Up 9%.) Have changed from heavy oil to being one of the more gassier producers. (He likes gas more than oil.) Continuing to buy large numbers of fields off the majors.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 25/04. Up 24%.) Still likes. Still has room to grow. Very nice heavy oil project.

BUY

Moving into Tar Sands operations which is controversial because of their inexperience. Long term outlook for natural gas in North America is very good. Higher risk than Encana.

WAIT

The stock has probably had a major peak Sept/Dec from his 6 month perspective. The old highs of July/Aug/Sept are worst case scenario on the downside. Closer to the mid $40's would be more attractive. Mid $40s to the mid $50's will be the trading range.

BUY

For a choice between this company and Encana, you have considerably more upside with this one. Encana is an excellent company. Has transitioned almost completely to a pure gas play, so more sensitive to and drop in gas prices. Also the production curve with gas is a little more negative.

SELL

Concerned that it had hit a high, pulled back and then hit a lower high and is now back to a lower low. Looks like it's beginning to underperform in the market. Prefers others.

BUY

Feels that oil will continue to fall off to the mid $30's. A great time to buy the oils. This is a decent company. Reserve life might be a little less than some of the others.
