Suncor Energy Inc. (SU) has garnered praise for its remarkable corporate turnaround and strong performance under its current management, noted for streamlining operations and generating significant free cash flow. Despite recent challenges, including the stepping down of the CEO, experts see potential for substantial upside, with estimates of up to 40% growth in two years if the momentum continues. Many experts consider the stock's valuation as attractive, especially in comparison to peers like CNQ, suggesting that it remains a compelling option for income and growth as oil prices fluctuate. The company's long-life reserves and commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks bolster its favorable standing in the energy sector, contributing to a generally positive outlook.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes it a lot, its upstream, midstream and downstream operations. They enjoy very long-life reserves in the Oil Sands. The dividend is quite good and it well managed. Seasonal strength happens in December-January, so buy on weakness, and hold long term.

WAIT

There is a lot of trading going on and it is consolidating at $46 to $48. Wait until it breaks out at $48. There has been a lot of volatility - $39 is your exit price.

SELL

Not many people view it as a premier name anymore. Asset base depleting in 10 years, needs to be replenished. New CEO doing a good job. He'd much prefer a MEG, similar valuation on cashflow and with 35 years of reserves.

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.
