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.

CNQ
BUY
Encana vs. Suncor He prefers Suncor for its stability. Oil stocks are oversold and can rise higher. Q2 should be good for SU.
TOP PICK
Buy this when you're bullish oil, then sell to take gains. He sees decent upside in oil to $70/barrel within the next 12 months. Pays a decent dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $53.47)
COMMENT
He's not bullish oil/gas, because the world is moving quickly to greener energy. A company like Suncor can diversify into green and companies that diversify will survive. He'd sell a covered call at a little higher strike price on SU. Takes some cash. The options are good and the market is liquid.
WEAK BUY
If you hold any energy stock, this is the one. He does own it. He sees about a 36% upside for the stock, so he would be a buyer -- although the would target $36 for an entry.
TOP PICK
Within seasonality for oil through the spring into the driving season. We're seeing that now. Gas demand is stronger than usual this year and should eat away at the oil overhang. SU's seasonality is January to May, and it's starting to move up after recently bottoming. (Analysts’ price target is $53.26)
TOP PICK
It sold off into a huge support line and has held. It's poised to bounce (has started to). He expects a good period for oil for the next 2-3 months. (Analysts’ price target is $52.87)
HOLD
So little interest in the sector, but 70% of the index is in 7 names and Suncor is the largest. No fund manager would ever be fired for holding Suncor. The new CEO is liked by the street. It is a free cash flow story and share buybacks. If you are bullish on oil going forward, this is not the one to one -- there are higher beta names out there.
BUY
A premiere holding in the Canadian energy space and a core holding. They are now over the big capex spend for the Fort Hills project and now should benefit from free cash-flow for the next few years. He likes where they are positioned. They are more expensive than others and he likes the growing dividend. You buy this and tuck it away.
TOP PICK
If oil recovers this one will give you less torque. But when oil recovers this is the one people will flock to. He likes it because of its hedged position. It sells to the US refineries. It is a cash machine. This company generates a lot of cash flow. It goes to debt, share buy backs, dividends and some to operations. (Analysts’ price target is $56.56)
COMMENT
A fundamental fund manager would want to get back in if it's earning money, and the PE will be higher in 5 years. They wouldn't worry about the 200-day moving average, which he does.
BUY
He's watching it. Likes it. They are hedged because they have their own refinery capacity. Good buy at this price.
COMMENT
Steady income? He thinks the recent budget for SU-T showing production growth with refining assets makes them pretty stable. He thinks there are lots of others that will recover much quicker -- like Cenovus (CVE-T). Yield 3.6%
BUY
CNQ-T vs. SU-T. It depends on your appetite for volatility and your expectations for returns. CNQ-T is a bet on oil. SU-T is more defensive but with less upside if you get the timing right on the price of oil. SU-T has a good opportunity to step in.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 25/17, Up 2%) Financially strong and well-managed and well-diversified (up and downstream). Solid balance sheet. This could be a consolidator if things get worse in this sector.
TOP PICK
Canada's largest integrated oil company, including long-running assets in the Oil Sands. It's one of the few oil producers he owns. Suncor is insulated from WCS price drops. They own four refineries and 1,750 gas stations. (Analysts’ price target is $59.48)
