Suncor Energy Inc (SU) has garnered attention for its significant turnaround under the current management, which has streamlined operations and improved financial performance. Experts note that the company has strong prospects due to its profitable oilsands operations, which are expected to generate cash flow for many years, bolstering both income and growth potential. There is a prevailing optimism about its future, with predictions of substantial upside in stock value, even amidst concerns regarding recent CEO changes. However, there are suggestions to consolidate positions or reassess targets in light of fluctuating oil prices and market conditions, reflecting a cautious yet favorable view on the company's long-term trajectory.
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).

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.
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.
