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

BUY

Good balance sheet. Trading at decent valuation. Growth of 12%. They beat on EPS. He likes it.

HOLD

Will rail benefit? He thinks rail and the new Alberta government will benefit them. Pipelines are safer, but oil needs to move. SU-T is their primarily holding in the energy space. A fully integrated company that benefits from production and refining. Yield 3.5%.

DON'T BUY

Defensive? Suncor and CNRL are the predominate weights in the Energy Index. Money has been hiding here and inflating valuations. As Suncor is integrated it is defensive, but we are into year 5 of a wicked bear market for energy stocks. New money will not likely go here, it would be attracted to companies at a fraction of the valuation. He would not own it.

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.
