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.

Consensus

Bullish

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

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.

DON'T BUY

A high component of their production is in heavy oil which tends to trade at a fairly wide spread to West Texas oil. The spread is putting pressure on CNQ. Affecting all oil companies is the Cdn$ being understated in the market's expectations. Also have a heavy oil project in Alberta which is going to drain on their capital expenditures.

BUY

A fine company. Recent drop was because of oil prices.

WAIT

Has dropped to a support level and technically is not in gear for another upward move yet. As we get into late January and get some quarterly results from them, it will be time to take a closer look.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Looking at this one very closely. A terrific company. Will bounce around with the price of oil. Try to buy in the $42/45 range.

WAIT

Wait for the pullback to play itself out. Very sharp drop in oil and oil stocks. Look for where the 200/100 day moving averages are, as possible entry points. (Perhaps $40?) The uptrend is there and doesn't see it broken yet.

BUY

Their favourite in the oil stocks. Trades around 4 X cash flow and has an Oil Sands property coming on stream in about 3 or 4 years.

BUY

Has almost been trading lockstep with the price of oil. Trades at about 4 X cash flow while its peers are at 6 X. Have a major Oil Sands play which is a couple of years away, which will provide further upside.

TOP PICK

(A Past Top pick Sept 17/04. Up 11.5%.) About the cheapest of the energy stocks and the only one that hasn't broken out yet. FMV of over $100.

BUY

An excellent company. Mostly natural gas, but they are working on a project in the Atrhabaskan Tar Sands which will give them more oil exposure. One of the best names out there.

BUY

Very solid company.
