Imperial Oil (IMO-T) is recognized as a strong player in the energy sector, particularly due to its solid cash flow generation and impressive dividend growth, boasting a consecutive 31 years of increases above 20% annually. Analysts suggest that as Canada's energy landscape becomes more favorable, the stock presents an attractive hedge against inflation, with a return potential given its price target of $157.47. While some experts find the stock may be overvalued compared to peers, many agree it is fundamentally sound, especially in an environment where energy demands are expected to rise. The sentiment across various reviews indicates an optimistic long-term trend, though vigilance is advised due to potential fluctuations influenced by global oil prices. Overall, despite some warnings of short-term volatility, the outlook remains bullish for investors considering an energy exposure.

CVE

WAIT

Very good defensive stock if you think oil is going to go down. Their growth will be in their Kearl project in 2011-2012. Less than 1% yield.

BUY

In a hot oil market it will not do well. No debt, low cost producer. Makes incredible amounts of money.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 4/08. Up 11.4%.) Not one of the oils that he favours right now because it is meandering and below the 200 day moving average. It could drop even further.

BUY

At a pretty critical point in the broad markets in general so he is defensive and has cut his position back a little. A good buy under $40. Excellent track record of delivering value. Excellent balance sheet and fantastic asset base.

BUY

Likes it. It’s a boring company. They have good assets and will continue to do well. Does not go up and down as much as oil. It’s a well-run boring company. Will grow slowly over a period of time. It is a core holding.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the stock but by virtue of market sentiment you'll be able to pick it up a little cheaper. Great fundamentals, great balance sheet.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Solid, solid company.

BUY

If you are looking for a great long-term stock, this has one of the best records in the oil patch. Very well run. Have a growth path that is looking pretty good. Building the Kearl project, and integrated oil sands project. He would slightly prefer Suncor (SU-T) but you can't go wrong with either one. A long-term play. 1% yield.

BUY

Turned a corner and he likes what he sees than what he saw in the past. Had been reinvesting a small amount of their cash flow mostly into the Cold Lake area for heavy oil extraction. Announced the Kearl project, which is very exciting and will have good economic return for them. This will increase their production substantially. Likes it for a slow, steady hold.

BUY

Has some good upside potential. It's about the execution of their long life assets. Good growth profile over the next few years. Great internal rates of return.

WAIT

Oils have had a nice move and he would be inclined to let it firm and show a bit of strength on the upside. Only 1% yield. Entering in the shoulder season on oil. Good company with great assets.

BUY

One of the class acts in the integrated space. Tremendous converters of capital to cash flow and profit. Average annual returns over the last 25 years has been above 13% a year including dividends and capital gains.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) He is warm to the oils and this is a good name to own.

BUY

His partners like the long-term projects. Stock was under pressure recently because of bad results. Sees a lot of growth

DON'T BUY

(Market Minute) Lagged the market.
