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.

TOP PICK
Integrateds have done very well. They've grown their dividend nicely. They have diversified operations, but insulated from the WCS differential. Fine in the long term. Good valuation. (Analysts’ price target is $54.95)
HOLD
This company has its good and its bad. For exposure in oil, this is a defensive holding. It won't correlate to outright oil prices exactly, but it will be more stable if oil prices consolidate. He likes their integrated nature. It you feel oil prices are going higher, you may want to own a producer.
WEAK BUY
$60.37 is his target price. You can enter it now. It will benefit from rising oil prices. It's a low-risk trade.
COMMENT
SU vs. CNQ Suncor has higher dividend. Both big in oil sands. Both generate free cash flow. Suncor's said it will raise dividend and buy back stock. CNQ is also buying back. Suncor performance is much better. Until we get through October federally, and egress gets resolved, foreigners will stay away from Canada.
BUY
He thinks they will succeed in getting their oil to markets at a world price. He can't say how they will, but SU has accomplished this in the past.
TOP PICK
Pays a growing dividend of 3.5% that has been growing steadily. Ft. Hills and Hebron, 2 big growth projects, are now online. They have downstream integration which insulates them from the commidity differentials that other oil players face. (Analysts’ price target is $54.48)
BUY
CNQ vs. Suncor Owns and prefers Suncor because of its downstream integration. CNQ though looks interesting now as it flirts with its 200-day moving average. Valuation is low at P/B and pays a 3.9% yield, which is high in this sector. The stock is discounted for CNQ. The major risk is that it's a pure play on WCS. Otherwise, a great company.
BUY
He does not cover it. He tries to cover names that don’t get a lot of coverage and are quite attractive. The big thing about it is that it is a cash flow machine. It has been raising its dividend and if it breaks $40 it is a bargain. This and CNQ-T are go-to names for foreign investors. (Analysts’ price target is $54.00)
BUY
Best in class in oil. Downstream protects them when oil prices are down, and midstream offsets volatility. Great balance sheet and management. The whole sector has turned into manufacturingfrom growth, because they aren't exploring (because of lack of pipelines), but rather are reducing costs to C$25/barrel. With the WCS differential, the companies fetch C$50. Good profit. SU is well-positioned and well-capitalized to survive.
WAIT
It has support around $38, and recently broke a neckline on the way up. Generally, you can't predict commodities, but oil should remain bullish for the next month or two.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 28/19, Up 6%) Still a long-term hold. It's starting to move up as he expected. It's building a nice base.
DON'T BUY
Should I buy Suncor now until the market turns and then buy a smaller cap with more torque? Do you want to own large cap integrated or mid cap? If he can buy names now at 25-30% free cash flows, he is willing to take on a little more volatility. If you are not invested when that turn happens, you might miss the opportunity because they likely could gap up 10% in a few day. He would be more in the midcaps than where everyone else is hiding such as in Suncor.
TOP PICK
He is starting to like the fundamentals. This is the most conservative way to play the oil space. You can buy this to be defensive. (Analysts’ price target is $53.65)
TOP PICK
This is a cash machine. You want to own companies that can generate free cash. They increased their dividend. Last quarter results were a little disappointing but was just a short term thing. With the cash generated, they increase the dividends and buy back shares. Yield = 3.69% (Analysts’ price target is $53.44)
BUY
They have lots of growth fairway. They are a low cost operator. It would be a buy under $40. They are generating a lot of free cash flow. It could be a $50-$60 stock a couple of years from now.
