Suncor Energy Inc (SU) has garnered a range of opinions from experts, primarily focused on its recent turnaround under new management. Many reviewers commend the operational improvements and the company’s ability to generate free cash flow, especially in the context of Canada's oil sands being seen as crucial assets with long reserve lives. While there are concerns about the stock's recent performance and the impact of leadership changes, several analysts still demonstrate confidence in the company’s growth potential, citing a possible 40% upside in the next two years. Furthermore, Suncor is viewed as a stable investment with solid dividends, although some experts have a preference for Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) based on price and valuation aspects. Overall, many express optimism for Suncor's future trajectory, suggesting it remains a viable option for investors looking for energy sector exposure.

Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

CNRL, CNQ

TOP PICK

Canada's largest integrated oil company, operates in the Oil Sands--that oil will last 36 years. He likes their upstream assets (Oil Sands), four world-class refineries and 715 gas stations, which insulate SU from steep discounts in heavy crude. SU pays a yield over 4%. Heavy cash flow allows them to break even at $30 oil. Big share buybacks and growing dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $49.40)

COMMENT

SU vs PKI? The two go to stocks in the energy space are CNQ and SU. We are eventually going to have a big consolidation in the energy space, there are too many small players now. SU is a solid company, he would prefer it.

COMMENT

Politically we threw fuel on the fire in a weak commodity market. You have to be positive on the forward energy price to like anything. SU is a safer bet than WCP as they can make money at current prices. He is not sure WCP will be able to benefit. He expects more consolidation of smaller players in this space going forward.

DON'T BUY

The earnings were good where they slightly beat. Their cash flow is improving. The 4% dividend is pretty safe. It's not cheap of a stock and trades at a premium. Bottom line, this company will have negative cashflow unless oil prices go up higher. He wouldn't buy here.

HOLD

An integrated major in Canada. If investors ever come back into the energy space, they are going to buy the bigger companies first. Plus it pays just under a 4% dividend. He would not expect a big move higher anytime though. It trades generally between $40-$48.

TOP PICK

Buy below $40; it rarely stays below $40. It's integrated $1 billion of free cash flow, so they can buy back stock and raise the dividend. 12x PE and a 4% dividend. The top way to play energy. (Analysts’ price target is $49.78)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 24/18, Down 4%) He'd still buy it today. Not as much torque as in other oil names, but SU is widely held and pays a safe 4% yield. It's the top energy company in Canada, both upstream and downstream. Their refining profits will improve going forward.

TOP PICK

Oil stocks are cheap, providing that at some point oil pricing comes through. This isn't trading far from book value now, and didn't fall to book value when the oil price plunged earlier. Now, the oil price is not there. (Analysts’ price target is $51.41)

DON'T BUY

CNQ and SU He owns no oil stocks, but CNQ and SU are good. He sees no relief for oil stocks after the election, which could result in a coalition government. Doesn't see pipeline problems lifting.

BUY

They need more pipeline capacity to grow. Debt has come down. They will have a massive ability to increase the dividend.

WATCH

They just beat on Q2. They are focusing on higher value production and offshore developments. Should get decent cash flows at 5%, trading at 1.3x with a safe dividend. It’s not particularly cheap, and it’s oil but other than that, it is good name. He wouldn’t buy today at these prices.

HOLD

Now that he is enthusiastic about energy going forward, SU-T is actually relatively expensive to its peers. This may actually cause them to under-perform in the space. If you want the consistent cash flow and decent yield you can continue to hold this for the next 30 years. He has moved out looking for better opportunities.

TOP PICK

A lot of institutional investors own these. They have not done well in the environment we have seen, but the yield is over 4% and they have well integrated operations with some of the best assets in Canada. (Analysts’ price target is $52.87)

HOLD

A core holding. Valuation, long-life reserves. Safe, dividend-oriented, and international interest in it.

TOP PICK

Stocks like this have a history of bouncing back from a sell off. It’s at the low end of its trading range and would be buying it here.
