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
STRONG BUY
It is a great time to buy. With a refinery they are not impacted to the same differential issues. He thinks oil prices will be supported with growing global demand and he thinks the Canadian heavy oil differentials with tighten next year. Yield 3.5%.
BUY
Enbridge vs. Suncor He's long both. Suncor is the go-to oil player in Canada. Well-managed with good growth. But he's negative on Enbridge, because they're so levered, and the stock has come well off. They are at least starting to sell off assets. They had a good dividend but were paying out over 100% of earnings. Payout ratio and the balance sheet is now a little better. Neither is high-risk.
WEAK BUY
This is a global player in energy. He expects the stock will go mainly sideways. You get a dividend. He would not expect a large appreciation in stock price but should be part of a balanced portfolio.
BUY
This company is throwing off cash like crazy. They have historically raised the dividend. They are down because of differentials. It is getting very cheap. The total return story is attractive. It is probably the best of all the names on the list.
BUY
He doesn't like the energy space, but this is among the best in this sector. Integrated, and well-run, with an upstream and a downstream business. They have more than one way to make money. Boast a solid balance sheet. Good dividend. We are close to the bottom of pessimism about Canadian oil. He's confident about the new CEO.
BUY
If you want more oilsands, less debt and more valuation, go with Suncor. CNQ is less oilsands, slightly more debt, and slightly less valuation. Both are on watch list. They will have tremendous free cash flows in the coming years as the oil differentials tighten. Both are low cost operators. Both are good buys, but would slightly prefer CNQ.
COMMENT
Breaking news: the CEO is stepping down It looks like a regular transition. They just completed the Ft. Hills oil sands deal, so it's likely a good, calm time to change CEOs before things get busier.
TOP PICK
He is bullish short term on energy. You want to buy the best names when you think there will be a bounce back. They have integrated assets which allow them some protection. He has a $67 target price. The dividend is very safe and are buying back a tonne of stock. Yield = 3.3%. (Analysts’ price target is $61.11)
DON'T BUY
Very leveraged to the heavy oil scene and handcuffed by the lack of pipelines. A well-run company and victim of Canadian and American politics, American because they prefer Venezuelan heavy oil as opposed to ours.
WAIT

The integrateds have held up better than the producers, though they have struggled lately. Canada has a huge problem with WCS with its heavy price discount. SU is very low- cost, but you still have to wait well into next year before the lack of capacity (Canadian pipelines) is fixed). This stock is flat, so you're essentially earning only the dividend.

WATCH

He is not positive on the energy complex because it tends not to do well until mid-December. This is the stock he would recommend in this space. Support is about $40. He thinks it will start to rise in mid-December.

TOP PICK

OIl and gas has been under a cloud. SU is now very inexpensive and an excellent buying opportunity. It has some of the best assets in Canada, especially downstream, and is the most profitable refiner. Margins are improving and they are buying back stock. Dividends should improve in the next few years. (3.2% dividend, Analysts price target: $61.63)

DON'T BUY

He doesn’t have any exposure to the Canadian producers as they are getting 45-50 dollars less for each barrel of oil compared to international prices. It eventually will do very well.

BUY

Their refining business has been strong this year and have benefitted from this. One of the great Canadian energy names. It is not trading at an expensive valuation. He prefers CNQ right now. Suncor is a great long term business. Would definitely benefit if the Canadian crude spread tightened up.

HOLD

This is a core senior holding for them. Operationally, they are second to none and Fort Hills is progressing well. Horizon is operating and creating free cash flow. He loves getting the dividend and sees the assets providing a long term sustainable income stream.
