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.

CNQ
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. 

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.
