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

DON'T BUY

Has some great properties in the McKenzie Delta, but would prefer Petro Canada (PCA-T). Better value and a lower P/E multiple.

WEAK BUY

Not a bad play if you are bullish on oil. Have their fingers in a few pies in terms of refining, downstream, the oil sands project. Not as much growth as there is in some of the others, but decent cash generation.

WATCH

A wonderful company. Has been pulling back with the rest of the oils. Has a nice yield. Generating an enormous amount of cash flow. His focus has been more on the pure producers such as Encana (ECA-T). Watch how it acts against the market correction. If it can hold on, it's a stock you will want to own.

BUY

Probably will split when it reaches $100. Would like to see an increase in dividends.

TRADE

Very high right now. Not inexpensive relative to the other oil companies.

HOLD

In the next year or so will be a $100 dollar stock. "If they ever get the Mackenzie delta they are golden."

BUY

There will be huge gas resources available once the Mckenzie pipeline gets approved, hopefully this June. A good long term buy. Has had a run-up recently, probably due to buying coming in from the US.

TRADE

Has basically been a no-growth company. Has been a perennial disappointer and now finally they're getting their act in gear with good cash flow. Has a history of buying back shares. Has good heavy oil sands business.

TRADE

BUY

Q: Coming into an inheritance. What is a buy for a long term hold that pays dividends? A: Good long term hold. 2/3 of gains over time are made from dividends. Probably the highest dividend in the integrated oils.

BUY

Probably the most conservative oil/gas company in Canada. Prefers Petro Canada.

BUY

Prefers Imperial Oil for his dividend fund as it is a very steady integrated with a higher dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

Overpriced. Model price is $64.

DON'T BUY

Prefers more international stocks. Not a big growth player.

BUY

In the long-term, the prospects for a dividend paying stocks such as this are good.
