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.

CNQ
BUY

He has a significant position in SU. Energy prices will continue strong for a protracted time. Energy sector will continue to do well.

BUY

As with CNQ it has great long life assets and generates good cash flow. There is not a lot of new supply coming in and we should see some pickup in drilling in the U.S. over the next year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

New CEO an outsider which is good.
Health and safety issues improving.
Concerns on longevity of assets.
4-5 turn around on company prospects.
Current share price presenting a buying opportunity for long term shareholders.

HOLD

Pretty positive quarterly results, as people were expecting. Three clouds overhanging: safety, CEO still be be named, Fort Hills cost profile. It's one of the 3 energy names he'd use. He follows SU, CNQ, and EOG quite closely. These energy companies are gushing cashflow now. 

BUY

Pays a 4.5% dividend that will increase. Global demand for oil continues to outstrip supply, which is minimal these days. Are disciplined and instead enhancing share buybacks and dividends. China reopening is a catalyst.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 29/22, Up 8%)

Largest oil sands producer in Canada.
Likes the stock and will continue to hold.
Excellent assets with very long life.
Costs coming down on the operations.
Refining operations also very strong.
Record profits producing large amounts of cash flow.
New management should improve company performance.

BUY
It's cheap. Well-run and the dividend should rise. The Canadian oil patch is now reducing debt and buying back shares. Suncor ticks all the boxes. He prefers the integrateds, like Suncor.
HOLD
Energy stocks are still trading higher when you look at the 200-day MA. Still likes and owns. Still sees very steady global oil demand, continues to outstrip supply. In 2022, US drew down 37% from reserves, which will need to be replenished. Oil inventories are generally low. Companies are focused on enhancing shareholder value. Industry-wide underinvestment. China's reopening can be a catalyst as well. Over 12-24 months, he still likes the energy sector. 200-day MA still moving along nicely, along with the price still moving higher. Still has potential. With the macro economy looking better, interest rate action, and China reopening, he'd hang on. Yield is 4.8%.
WEAK BUY
Hold or buy, not sell. The price of oil will stay the same or rise. The transition to renewables will take time, so oil will stay a while. Suncor will reap the benefits of higher oil. Caveat: the health and record of the CEO. They have a nice plan to return capital to shareholders.
DON'T BUY
Less optimistic about energy in the near term. Had a good run, now consolidating and that's his concern, it's dead money. Reward/risk ratio is not compelling.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate SU as a TOP PICK. The stock price is down on news of its refinery in Colorado being down for several weeks due to fires. Recently reported earnings show cash reserves have surged back above $2.2 billion -- the highest level since 2018 -- while it is retiring debt and buying back shares. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $36, looking to achieve $50 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 4.5% (Analysts’ price target is $50.06)
DON'T BUY
Not a good buy for return on capital. No growth and no return. Volatile and past best before date.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Large reserve buildup and strong balance sheet. Recently struggles creating buying opportunity for investors. If own shares, keep them. Too volatile for defensive investors. Very good price for long term investors.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate SU as a TOP PICK. Recent reported earnings beat expectations as revenues increased 42% thanks to higher production and higher underlying oil prices. Production should continue to rise as Syncrude operations return to normal. Analysts expect earnings growth to average over 30% annually over the next five years. It trades at under 8x earnings and 1.5x book. We recommend keeping the stop-loss at $36, looking to achieve $50 -- upside over 20%. Yield 5.2% (Analysts’ price target is $50.12)
DON'T BUY
Two years ago was adding energy. Believes new cycle is starting, so not constructive on energy. Energy gains have already been prices. Geopolitical conflict will end (oil prices will fall).
