This summary was created by AI, based on 17 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 25/23, Down 1%)

Eidtor's Note: He does not hold stocks for long. Since his strategy is trading stocks these past picks were made only about a month ago. It is following the same sideways chart as energy stocks in general. He is buying at around $38 for a trade. A breakout trade would be even better. Pays a 5% dividend.

BUY

It has a new CEO and a dividend of 5%. It is trading at a discount to its peers because of its previous track record. It will be able to increase its dividend so there is upside on returning money to shareholders.

WAIT

Watch and wait for a bigger pullback. Very depressed valuation, with a new CEO coming in.

BUY

Current share price presenting value.
Energy fundamentals strong with under-investment.
Good name for the long term.
Does not believe recession will occur.
Good time to buy.

TOP PICK

Good upside potential, nice yield, strong balance sheet. Oil demand isn't going away, despite ESG, making oil availability more difficult. With the Trans Mountain expansion, spread between WTI and WCS is closing, bullish for Canadian oil companies. Yield is 5.14%.

(Analysts’ price target is $51.32)
TOP PICK

He's in trading and defense mode. Great company. Has come down to a probable support point. Time to start accumulating positions. Probably oversold and ready to bounce, and if it doesn't, he only has a 2% position and the company is a big cap, well known name. Yield is 5.29%.

(Analysts’ price target is $52.29)
Unspecified

It has struggled over the years. It has great assets but they have had difficulty in the execution of operations. The new CEO is putting the emphasis on the work culture and streamlining operations. It is trading at a discount to its peers and pays a good dividend.

BUY

Very high quality. Headwinds of safety and production issues. New CEO seems to be a good move. Lots of free cashflow. Increasing impressive dividend, now about 5%. Paying down debt, so balance sheet is strong. Growth strategy in place. Underperformed YTD, but will catch up longer term. Good buy here.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 03/23, Down 3.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with SU has triggered its stop at $40.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  This will result in a net investment loss of 3%, when combined with the previous buy recommendation.

DON'T BUY

Currently underweight in oil and gas. Commodity producers are slaves to the one thing they can't control, the price of the commodity. Somewhat insulated from the commodity price. Great company, financially strong. His pick is CNQ.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 18/22, Up 11%)

He wouldn't like to see the company split up. Aggressive US managers are pushing for change. Extremely inexpensive. Continues to recommend. Yield nearly 5%.

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

Investors have collectively decided that the banking crisis will cause a hard landing recession and thus a drop in oil demand. 
It is certainly one possibility, but it is also possible that it doesn't. 
Valuations look good for investors willing to look beyond a few months.
