Suncor Energy Inc. (SU) is widely regarded as a strong player in the Canadian energy sector, particularly in oil sands. Many experts praise its impressive turnaround under new management, which has resulted in significant earnings growth and an efficient operational structure. Despite recent challenges due to fluctuating oil prices and broader geopolitical issues, Suncor is said to maintain a robust outlook with long-term potential for free cash flow generation, especially as investments in infrastructure continue. The company is viewed favorably for its ability to return capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, as well as its long reserve life that offers stability in the energy market. A few experts express caution regarding current valuation levels and suggest watching market dynamics before making significant moves, yet the overall sentiment leans towards optimism with potential upside depending on future oil price movements.
The composition of this ETF has become highly concentrated. Five names account for 78% of its value. CNQ and SU account for most it. Both of those names have rallied well compared to their peers as buyers in the US have been stepping in. However, their hedge books are naked to oil prices right now. He would prefer to own small cap names with good hedge books, if you select the right ones he thinks.
He owns CNQ instead. These two are the ones you want to own with the volatility in the oil market. They both have the ability to manage through this and have a chance to buy a bunch of assets. The smaller caps are just fighting to live another day. Risk that oil can go lower.
Energy stocks? Right now stick to the large, liquid energy stocks. There is growing concern of counter-party credit exposure within the mid-stream and pipeline space. He recommends ENB-T and TRP-T for pipelines and SU-T and CNQ-T for producers, if you want to own any energy stocks. SU-T yield is 7.2%, while CNQ-T is 8.4%. CNQ-T is probably still showing positive cash flow, even at these oil price levels. You may still lose money, but it will be much less than a smaller player.
