Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) has received mixed reviews from various experts. Many praise its strong management, stable cash flow, and consistent dividend growth, highlighting it as a reliable long-term investment in the energy sector. However, there are concerns regarding the cyclical nature of oil prices, with several analysts expressing caution about the long-term outlook for crude oil and suggesting potential headwinds from increased EV adoption and regulatory challenges. While short-term volatility is acknowledged, many experts believe CNQ's financial strength and diverse asset base position it well for the future. Overall, it is frequently noted as a solid choice for those looking to invest in the Canadian energy market, with a notable emphasis on the importance of oil price stability for CNQ's performance.

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.
TOP PICK
International presence. Cheap relative to its peers. Increasing production by 30%.
BUY
Probably their #1 ranked stock in the oil patch in the producing sector, based on cash flow, return on enterprise value. Good exposure in many areas in western Canada.
WEAK BUY
Likes to value at about 4/5 X cash flow. Well managed. The CAPX for their Horizon project has increased substantially.
BUY
Looking at it. Major risk is their Horizon project where costs are larger than expected.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 6/04. Up 17%.) Pulling back a little on lower oil prices. Forcasting 13% increase in production in 2005.
DON'T BUY
Has been a great performer. A little concerned about their Horizon project in the oil sands. It looks like their capital costs are rising.
