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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Buy on weakness. Wait for share price to fall. Good long term business. If economic hard landing, will be tough on energy industry. 

WAIT

It has a new CEO and 4 1/2% yield. Wait for a reduction in oil prices since they are at their higher end.

HOLD

Very solid company with widely acknowledged problems in upgrading facility. Must grow through M&A. Trading at discount to CNQ. Better names to invest in sector. New CEO very strong. Could be good in the future. 

Unspecified

The stock is going sideways but pays a good dividend. CNQ and Shell could break out better.

PARTIAL SELL

The chart has returned to previous highs. Has sold half his holdings already. Will it break out above current levels. He tries to be optimistic, but he took profits.

BUY
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

We see recent M&A as a positive, as SU needs supply. For Suncor, the recent purchase secures long-term bitumen supplies for the upgraders at its Base Plant, prolonging the operation’s lifespan. The company has been searching for new supplies for the facilities after the Canadian government signaled last year that it might not approve a project to extend the life of the mine that currently feeds them. So, positive for operations, but the total value is still quite small for the size of SU (about 3.5% of market cap).

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 20/22, Up 14%)

Large-cap oil companies are just hemorrhaging cash with buybacks and dividend increases. Mature, well managed. Buy it on sale. Core holding for income and some growth. Excellent optionality.

BUY

Owns shares (about 5% in portfolio).
MEG and Cenovus better options. 
Good for long term investors (5-10 years).
High exposure to oil prices. 
Expecting 60% upside, or ~$90 share price. 

DON'T BUY

Prospects depend on commodity price. Her energy exposure is through pipeline stocks, whose cashflow is more defensive than that of a producer. For yield, go to the pipelines. ESG is a headwind to producers in general.

TRADE
Use covered calls?

If it continues to rise, he'll hold on, but if it breaks down to around $37, he'll sell it. It's been sideways since early 2022. 

WEAK BUY

CEO is great, improving safety and cost-cutting. Main asset depletes around 2035, so they need to address this. Future free cashflow payable to shareholders not as competitive as CNQ or CVE. Trades at a discount. Good leverage to the price of oil. Good upside, but MEG and BTE are still the best for bullish oil.

BUY

In oil, buy at home, but Canadians, because they're much cheaper and are more likely to hike dividends like CNQ, Suncor or TOU-T. Great cash flows and buying back shares. Even if oil is above $70, these stocks remain cheap.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 27/22, Up 1%)

2023 has been disappointing compared to 2022. Still seeing 15% free cashflow yield. Yield is 5.3%. OPEC+ are actively trying to keep oil price high. Economic and population growth will result in long-term demand against a backdrop of limited supply. 

DON'T BUY

Pays a 5.4% yield. Owns CNQ instead. SU was a darling among US investors, but the quality of their assets wasn't good enough to get them through 2020. Probably, though, it's fine from here, but he prefers a natural gas or nat-gas/oil company.

HOLD

Major correlation to oil price.
Like energy sector with high free cash flow and dividend yields.
Not highest pick for Canadian oil sands companies.
Prefers CNQ and Cenovus.
