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. The company's long-life reserves and commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks bolster its favorable standing in the energy sector, contributing to a generally positive outlook.

CNQ

TOP PICK

It does not hurt to have a major integrated player. There will be some noise going forward as they have had some unplanned outages. Their production forecasts are a little lower than analysts expected and their capex requirements were a bit higher. A solid company that generates significant free cash flow -- they hope to increase that by $2 billion. The most broadly owned energy stock in Canada. Yield 3.8% (Analysts’ price target is $49.64)

BUY

He owns CNQ that and SU are the top two large energy companies. SU continues to buyback shares and raise their dividend. They've made astute acquisitions. SU is also increasing cash flow. But they're under pressure from climate change. SU will continue to cut costs, increase cash flow and raise their dividend. A great company and well-run.

COMMENT

CNQ-T vs. SU-T. He thinks we are at the point where we have peak demand for carbon-based energy. By 2025 every car manufacturer will at least have a hybrid. There will always be at last a little demand for carbon-based energy. Right now we are generating more energy from solar than from coal, so we are moving in the right direction. He is indifferent to the two stocks.

TOP PICK

In the fall, Suncor actually lagged the performance of the energy space, so he sees there is opportunity to play catch up. Free cash flow is up to $1 billion per year. He expects higher dividends and greater efficiency. Yield 3.91% (Analysts’ price target is $49.53)

BUY

SU vs. CNQ He owns CNQ; with CU, they are the two best-run Canadian oil companies. They've maintained decent share prices as its peers got washed out. SU has benefitted from the diversity of their refining assets when the WTI price differential widened CNQ is a cash-flow machine, decreasing debt and costs. You can own SU or CNQ, not both. CNQ is in a better position of returning shareholder dollars through share buybacks and/or raising the dividend. Caveat: if oil prices rise in 2020, these two giants won't benefit as much as its smaller peers (e.g. WCP) which have fallen further.

DON'T BUY

He would not own it. We just went through the worst bear market for energy stocks. If you had to own energy stocks, you owned SU-T. Now people will use it to raise money to buy mid-caps.

BUY

He owns CNQ, instead. Oil stocks have moved up recently with the oil price. SU has executed well with its acquisitions. The question is where does oil go with people not wanting carbon energy. SU is doing a good job reducing its carbon footprint. Okay to own this for the next while.

BUY

Money seems to want to return to the Canadian oil sector. He owns Suncor and would put more money into it. They are shareholder friendly, paying good dividends and buying back stock.

HOLD

A big holding. SU has held in well in an unloved industry (capex has slid). SU is a core energy holding in Canada. It balance upstream and downstream, so fully integrated. Hold onto it and collect the dividend over 4%. SU will do well going forward. SU will invest in capex yet watch operating expenses. This remains a core holding of his.

BUY

It is a cash machine. They are buying back their shares whenever their stock is cheap. They pay a nice dividend.

DON'T BUY

He does not follow energy companies any more. He won't invest because they can't control the price of oil.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 09/19, Up 9%) He likes the oil space and would buy SU now. SU has good volumes.

BUY

The chart is not very good as a cup and handle pattern since July. Where we are now, if we can get through that, then the highs of $45 will be challenged. This will be one of the leaders in the space.

HOLD

Doesn't have a lot in energy, but follows it. If you're going to buy energy, buy this or CNQ. Sector seems to be bottoming out. Stick with the big guys. A capital allocator that you buy and hold for 10 years.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 04/18, Up 2%) Top of the heap in a very tough space. But he sees more in the tank--SU remains very undervalued. He feels oil stocks are oversold and due to rise.
