Suncor Energy Inc. (SU) has garnered praise for its remarkable corporate turnaround and strong performance under its current management, noted for streamlining operations and generating significant free cash flow. Despite recent challenges, including the stepping down of the CEO, experts see potential for substantial upside, with estimates of up to 40% growth in two years if the momentum continues. Many experts consider the stock's valuation as attractive, especially in comparison to peers like CNQ, suggesting that it remains a compelling option for income and growth as oil prices fluctuate.

CNQ
DON'T BUY
Sadly, 5th fatality since 2021. Needs to be a real change in culture to improve safety, which is creating a disconnect from what underlying commodities are doing. Shareholder activism has produced good returns. Near-term challenges.
HOLD
Generating huge free cash and returning it to shareholders. Getting over operational issues. Huge valuation gap from its larger peers. Balance sheet's in great condition. Continue to hold if you believe, as he does, that energy prices will remain elevated.
HOLD
John: Shareholder activism has come to SU, and this should help the valuation. Likes oil more than nat gas, as oil is in a structural shortage. Oil players are extremely cheap, with 30% cashflow yields, 2x operating cashflow. Perhaps not a hold for the next 5-10 years, but a good rental.
BUY
Company shares trading higher as a result of shareholder activism. Stock trading at a discount compare to other majors. 23% free cash flow yield. Expecting 52% upside, but can do better in other names. If own shares, hold them.
HOLD

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The activist investor could be positive overall. The long term impact will depend if things change. However, the stock has lagged the sector, and management could use a refresh. Cost savings could be implemented and growth could improve. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY
Thinks company is a quality name even with activist pressures. Strong dividend with reasonable trading multiple. Investors can collect dividend while operations are straitened out. Good time to buy shares.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 21/21, Up 65%) Still likes it. With CNQ, a benchmark energy stock in Canada. We're in a very good market for Canadian energy producers. Potential for greater dividends or share buybacks. Core holding. Yield is over 4%.
BUY
It's benefitting from rising energy prices and the Russian war, but he wouldn't hold this long term. He likes it because it is getting into solar and wind energy. The world is moving towards alternative energy.
COMMENT
Suncor vs. Keyera Very different companies. SU is huge, vertically integrated. KEY is a midstream that processes and distributes nat gas. Keyera is paid by the volume they produce, so it's a steady business. But SU relies on the price of oil, which is high now, but was low 24 months ago. SU also has refinery operations and retail, so there are revenues there too, and slightly less dependent on crude oil prices. Do you have the highs and lows of Suncor or the steadiness of Keyera?
TOP PICK
Well positioned in both upstream and downstream operations. Strong financials and management team. Investing in renewables (carbon capture and diesel technology). Share price at attractive level. Bullish long term on the energy sector (10 years).
BUY
Oil and gas are really good businesses. Cashflow used to pay down debt, increase dividends, and buy back shares. SU has executed this very well. Though oil is volatile, price will stay elevated, giving SU tons of free cash. Energy security will become more important going forward. Gives them credit for steps on ESG. He owns CNQ instead.
COMMENT

She owns no oil producers, though hung onto pipeline stocks. If you want exposure to oil, SU is a candidate, though you're chasing the rally in crude oil now. She prefers CNQ for growing despite the commodities cycle.

DON'T BUY
He'd own CNQ, raised dividend 22 years in a row, having its day in the sun. CNQ has a great CEO and is the safest play in the oil patch. If oil prices stay here, CNQ could go higher.
BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. As an integrated company, it has less leverage to rising prices compared to a pure producing company. It is still up 47% in the past years. Investors are selling on news and many energy stocks declined yesterday. Generally still doing very well. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

HOLD
Nice dividend around 4-4.5%, well covered. Balance sheet is fine. We're getting to the end of Omicron, and as things open up this summer we're going to see a lot more travel. OPEC is capped. Despite the green revolution, demand for oil has never gone away. He's optimistic on the price for oil. Reasonably valued, despite the run off the bottom. Hold on. His modelling suggests $52-55, and if oil goes to $125-150 as some suggest, you could see some real fireworks in this stock.
