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

HOLD

Basically peaked out in 2008 in conjunction with the oil price and has been flat ever since. Have very good assets. Building the Kearl oil sands project and will be coming on stream soon. It’s always trading at a premium, partly because they are 75% owned by Exxon (XOM-N). Also, the dividend yield is not attractive enough for him. If you own, it will do you well in the longer-term.

TOP PICK

Just started to perform with price of commodity. High quality earnings, fully integrated and getting full benefits of downstream earnings, which have been growing quite nicely. Nice hedge against geopolitical issues that international companies have. Viewed as a very stable company.

COMMENT

Recently beat earnings. Their output actually went down but they made money because of their refining business. He would favour the integrateds right now in the oil industry. Technically, if it breaks down through its support, it would be a good buy at $40.

COMMENT

He has this as a neutral with a $50 target. Sees further production and cash flow growth but there are a lot more cost overruns coming. He would rather have a much higher yield.

COMMENT

Too big for his interests but feels that gasoline will be an integral part of the economy for many years. Surprised that it has such a low dividend.

DON'T BUY

Would prefer Suncor (SU-T), which is certainly cheap. This is a great company. Growth is through the Kearl project, which is coming on line but cost escalations are really getting up there.

DON'T BUY

Great company. Had a great bounce from the lows of 2011 and 2008-2009. This one could potentially come down to maybe $35. Wait for the correction and then Buy.

DON'T BUY

Continues to lack growth to any large potential. Prefers Athabaska.

WEAK BUY

Trades with oil prices. Big cap X ahead of them. Doesn’t own much of it.

BUY

Imperial Oil (IMO-T) or Husky (HSE-T)? The size, breadth and its ability of Imperial Oil to maintain and grow its market share would be a positive for him. Husky will have more volatility. This would be a good entry level.

BUY

They make tremendous return on equity on their projects. Alberta project is on line and is doing well. Good buying opportunity.

BUY

A core position for him. Stock has ability to go to sleep on you but there is internal growth. This is a great stock for him to have in the core of his portfolio. Has not fallen enough for him to get excited enough to buy more. He trimmed back when it got too high.

COMMENT

Moved up starting last year when they got approval for the Mackenzie pipeline. Probably looking for a little bit of a pull back. He would like it at the $38-$40 range.

WAIT

Would wait for a pull back. It has had a good run and is now consolidating. If you are very bullish on energy and think it is going higher from here, this looks great.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 13/10. Up 18.67%.) They make a ton of money of about 9%-10% a year. Long term hold for him.
