Suncor Energy Inc. has garnered positive attention from various analysts who appreciate its solid turnaround under new management and its strong position in the Canadian oil sands sector. Experts highlight the company's potential for significant free cash flow generation over the coming decades due to its long-life reserves and efficient operations. While some analysts express caution regarding short-term oil price fluctuations, the general sentiment leans towards holding the stock for its long-term growth prospects. The company is seen as a stable investment due to its robust dividend policy and ongoing share buybacks. However, comparisons with other Canadian energy firms, particularly CNQ, indicate that while Suncor remains a viable option, it may not necessarily be the top pick for all investors.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The execution has not been great. The asset reliability has come into question. The stock has lagged. Bought shares yesterday. There has been strong interest by generalist in the sector and since expectations are so low for SU, they could see SU as an attractive option.

BUY

Moving averages turned higher. Decent low in August, and now turning higher. Risk/reward looks pretty good. Dividend expected to grow. Likes CNQ a bit better. But both will throw off a nice bit of cash, for a nice rising dividend which will be valuable if we're in an environment where rates slowly go higher. Yield is 3%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 04/20, Up 8%) Their downstream operations did well in the last quarter. They are the giant in Canadian oil. In the next few years, the energy stocks will offer good value after being under pressure in recent years. We could head to an oil shortage and see rising oil prices. He still likes SU.

BUY

CNQ vs. Suncor The energy sector looks good. Today's news says that we could see oil prices topping $100 in 2022, but he thinks $80 is a more realistic target. Growing demand for oil should continue into 2022. CNQ could crack the summer's resistance level. Stick with the large-cap oil names. CNQ vs. Suncor? Own both. Anything could happen to smaller-cap names in the face of a fourth wave of Covid. Long-term, though, oil names will be less and less attractive.

WEAK BUY

Cut dividend. Fort Hills has been delayed. Cut operational expenses. About 1B in free cashflow. Still trading cheap, at 4x cashflow. He owns CNQ in the space, for better risk/return. He'd be a buyer instead of a seller. Possibility of increased dividend to entice investors.

COMMENT

Buy on current weakness? He owns CNQ instead. His strategy is to own the larger-cap oil companies. SU will spend some money in capex and likely increase that, buyback shares and raise their dividend. All large oil companies around the world are doing this. Of course, rising oil prices will help. These companies are in better shape than before. Both SU and CNQ make acquisitions at the right time.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He's long followed this and used to own it, not now because of oil prices. There are so many incentives to raise oil production which will likely moderate prices. SU is vertically integrated, so it's more durable than peers, and it has a massive, strong balance sheet. They position themselves as a dividend play. It could be a counter-cyclical acquirer which could add company value. Energy stocks have rebounded sharply this year, too.

DON'T BUY

Execution has always been an issue for them. The streets are worried about their ability so this is why it trades at a discount. Stock is inexpensive at 3.6x cashflow with a 19% free cashflow yield. If you want to stick in the large cap realm, he prefers Cenovus. Could trade at a discount for some time.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 01/20, Up 53.7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with SU has triggered its stop at $25. To remain disciplined, we now recommend to cover the position. We will reevaluate another potential entry back into it at a future date.

SELL ON STRENGTH

It's been painful to own Canadian oil and gas. Hard to see any pipelines being approved in NA going forward. The only way this goes up is if oil prices move up for a long time, and if they did he'd sell. Well run, but trading where it was 15 years ago.

BUY

Of the majors, SU is the best. It trades cheaply and has a strong production profile. He can't find fault with it. It continues to execute well and pays a decent dividend.

HOLD

They've stated they will pay down debt, increase dividend, buy back shares. Has made good acquisitions and is trying to move responsibly on environmental concerns. Using more technology to reduce costs and increase margins.

HOLD

Great long-lived assets, low cost producer, levered to oil price. Money is coming out of the sector creating opportunities. It's like a tobacco stock of the 1980s. Could take excess cash to pay down debt, increase dividends, buy back stock, and reinvest in the renewable sector, making it a good investment. Goal of eliminating internal combustion engines by 2035 is unrealistic.
