Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) is regarded as one of the best-managed oil and gas companies in Canada, demonstrating solid operational performance and a commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks. Experts highlight its significant reserve base, discipline in management, and ability to remain profitable even at lower oil prices, contributing to its attractiveness as a long-term hold. Despite some experts mentioning concerns regarding oil price volatility and the broader energy market outlook, many agree that CNQ's diversification and low-cost production make it a resilient player in the industry. The company has consistently raised dividends for over 25 years, reflecting strong cash flow generation and fiscal responsibility, with analysts projecting a positive long-term trajectory for the stock, particularly if oil prices stabilize or rise again.

BUY
Running out of easy oil. The company has been on a very good uptrend. Stock will hold around 40 dollar area.
BUY
Stock is very inexpensive. Buy this stock. It has not really reflected the market, however, it probably will soon.
BUY
One of the best names in the energy sector. The company has excellent management. Stick with CNQ and buy more if possible.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 5/03. Up 51%.) As the cycle moves on, investors start to move from juniors to larger, more secure holdings. Good, broad diversification.
TOP PICK
Has retreated 10% for its high. Good mix of Canadian, international and oil/gas mix with a rising oil sands project. Market is probably only giving credit for $30 oil to this stock. Cheap.
BUY
Stock has stayed consitantly above the 200 day moving average. The only problem is that the stock had a tremendous rise with very little correction. Keep very close stop losses on it.
STRONG BUY
Very bullish on oil. This is one of the better companies to own. It will dip at times so can be used as a trader.
BUY
In the medium to long-term horizon, the energy sector is a great place to be in. A great company. Has delivered good production growth.
TOP PICK
Has a lot of natural gas/oil in western Canada, North Sea, Africa, etc. Cheap valuation with good production growth. Trading at less than 4 X cash flow.
PAST TOP PICK
(Past top pick July 5/04. Up 9%.) Would buy more on a pullback at around $40.
BUY
Pretty well likes all the oils.
BUY
Likes the energy stocks and their choices would be #1 CNQ, #2 Talisman and #3 Petro Canada.
BUY
A heavy oil producer. Spreads between heavy and light have been fairly wide which could be negative overtime. However, the company has had significant growth in resources and production, so not a bad place to be.
PAST TOP PICK
(Past top pick Apr 26/04. Up 6%.) A little more fully priced now.
PAST TOP PICK
(Past top pick Mar 3/04. Up 65%.)
