Suncor Energy Inc. has garnered significant attention for its recent turnaround under the leadership of a new CEO. Experts express a generally positive outlook on the company's future, highlighting its strong free cash flow potential and efficient operations. While some reviews note a temporary underperformance, particularly with the CEO transition, there is an expectation of substantial upside in the next couple of years, potentially reaching 40%. Analysts indicate that Suncor's focus on reducing costs and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks enhances its attractiveness. However, there are mixed opinions regarding the stock's current valuation amidst fluctuating oil prices and market sentiment, with some experts preferring competitors like CNQ but recognizing Suncor's solid fundamentals and long-term prospects.

CNQ, CNQ
BUY
The whole group has come off because a) oil has come off a little and b) the fear factor of a soft landing in China escalating into a hard landing. There is currently a very tight market.
COMMENT
Suncor (SU-T) or Nexen (NXY-T)? Prefers this or Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ-T) in the oilsands.
BUY
Thinks it is a tremendous company. Have had good results in their downstream operations. It is the largest integrated oil company. On a valuation basis it looks fairly compelling compared to a lot of piers.
BUY
Canadian oil sands is getting approximately $80 for their crude. This is causing all oil producers in Canada to be a little weaker than expected. SU had an operational failure about a week and a half ago. If you are a long-term investor, this is a great asset to have. Short-term not a lot of growth here.
DON'T BUY
A piece of equipment went down unexpectedly. If you want pure oil sans exposure you want SU. More oil sands production per share. Is a bargain but CNQ is a little cheaper so he prefers that.
BUY
You will be able to buy things cheaper in the future. Suncor is sorting out its issues from the Petro Canada acquisition. Oil here is substantially lower than it is internationally. But thinks it is a good idea to buy it here.
BUY
There are so many factors that affect short-term movement. Wait for a day when it dips down. Not a bad entry point either way.
BUY
They may further increase the dividend. They are integrated. Thinks there is still upside.
WEAK BUY
Has not been one of his favorites. They have problems in the plants again. There is always some little rinky dink problem that is coming along. They have downstream refineries and it looks pretty good and the yield is pretty good, but there are other opportunities.
DON'T BUY
Prefers CNQ-T or Imperial and Huskey. SU has been one of the most disappointing large caps in Canada. They made no money while oil was in the $80-$100 range. People like Imperial have done much better than SU.
WAIT
Dividend looks pretty safe for now. Capital ratio is pretty ok. Views that they have an interesting opportunity to turn their business around in the States. If bond markets tick up, this one may do better.
BUY
Focus on the question: are they increasing production? Yes. Is oil going to get any cheaper over the long term? Hard to imagine. Over the long term it is just going to go higher. The Chinese just keep buying cars. The rest of the world is growing quite quickly. Would buy it but his Top Pick today is cheaper.
DON'T BUY
A good company. When Americans want to buy oil and gas in Canada this is one of the go to names. You can buy it here. It is fully valued around $37/$38 and if this correction continues you might see it under $30. There is not a lot of support for these stocks right now.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 2, 2011, Down 24.29%)
DON'T BUY
Theres been better price performance in companies that are using some of the newer technology to unlock oil. Oil sands companies have been weaker performers over the last while. This company has some tremendous assets and the company is worth a lot of money. There have been technical difficulties that have created higher costs. He would prefer one of the growthier companies like Crescent Point (CPG-T), which is 90% light crude.
