The reviews of ConocoPhillips (COP) reflect a variety of perspectives regarding the oil market and its implications for the company's stock. One expert believes that despite the high oil prices likely resulting from geopolitical tensions, COP doesn't stand out among its competitors and recommends cutting it. Another review indicates that with the recent optimism for oil supply and prices coming down, the appeal of energy stocks, including COP, could diminish as capital flows shift to other sectors. Despite these concerns, one expert retains a positive outlook on COP, suggesting that it remains a worthwhile investment despite the recent declines. Overall, the sentiment around COP seems mixed, with considerations of broader market dynamics and the changing landscape of oil pricing influencing expert opinions.

Valuation

XOM

TOP PICK

They not only have barrels and barrels of oil, but they have barrels and barrels of cash. A lot of oil companies buying back shares.

DON'T BUY

A very large and diversified company so, it's unlikely to give you the same return than a pure gas/oil company won't. Paid a big price for their last acquisition and may have trouble justifying this.

TOP PICK

One of the cheapest names in the S&P 500. His model price is $106 which is a 69% positive differential.

HOLD

Previously recommended. Recently acquired Burlington Resources. Too much debt.

DON'T BUY

American oil companies have different characteristics than Canadian ones. Growth prospects are less. Difficult for them to increase their reserves.

TOP PICK

When you take a look at the big integrated oils in the US, they’re about half the valuation of the Canadian oils. It had a nice pullback because they’re buying Burlington Resources. A huge acquisition, but it will make them the number-one natural gas in terms of reserves.

WEAK BUY

Up until they announced they were going to make a major acquisition in the last couple of weeks, was a name that he highly favoured because they had good exploration potential, good balance sheet and were strong in refining and marketing. That’s starting to change now as it will stretch their balance sheet quite a bit. With preferred Petro Canada (PCA-T).

TOP PICK

They are buying Burlington Resources (BR-N). Had a nice pullback which gives you a great buy here.

WEAK BUY

With a 3 to 5 year view, it probably is a buy. Doesn’t know a lot about the company.

BUY

Launched a takeover bid for Burlington Resources (BR-N) which will result in this becoming the largest natural gas producer in North America. Good entry point. Don’t expect an immediate payback. A 12 to 18 month return on capital. No need to rush to buy.

WAIT

Analysts are not too keen on the Burlington (BR-N) takeover because the price they are paying is very high. In order to make it work, they have to do a lot of drilling and a lot of development work. Makes them the largest gas producer which is pretty fantastic, but a very expensive acquisition.

COMMENT

In talks to buy Burlington Resources (BR-N).These mergers make sense because of what you can do on cost restructuring. It'll probably go ahead.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 7/05. Down 3%.) Up about 55% since he's owned it about 1.5 years ago. Still likes.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Aug 4/05. Down 8%.) Will be buying more.

TOP PICK

His model price continues to go up and is currently $102. Cheap in comparison to the Canadian oils.
