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.

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).
HOLD
Blue chip Canadian energy. All about generating maximum return for shareholders. A good one to own for the long term. Fortunate to own Petro-Can downstream, with plans to expand EV capabilities and convenience store options. Despite frustrations, energy markets seem strong right now. Impressive dividend yield.
BUY
Impressive dividends and buybacks from the sector this year, likely to continue. Supply/demand dynamic still very tight, should be positive for free cashflow. Dividend is more than safe, should grow. Good to own for the next 12 months.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 24/21, Up 48%) Likes energy space. Dividend increase of 12%, doubled share repurchase plan. Potential sale of Petro-Can could be a catalyst. Long term, demand will remain steady with supply weak. Fantastic 15% free cashflow yield. Yield is 4.3%.
HOLD
Does not own shares in energy as feels the sector is risky. Suncor a good business with long term reserve life index. Recent dividend increase good for share holders. Recent safety issues will hopefully be fixed.
BUY
Don't need to go internationally to own oil companies. Oil will be tighter than people think. SU is one to own. After 2020, they all cut capex, paid down debt, bought back stock, increased dividends. This will continue. Will continue to throw off lots of free cash.
BUY
More upside? Attractive price. Oil & gas stocks haven't run up as much as they ought, given the free cashflow. Management says once debt down to 9B, 100% of free cashflow will be used to buy back stock, after dividends. Decades of reserves in oil sands.
DON'T BUY
Sell CNQ, buy SU? CNQ has a model price of $135.07, 65% upside. Where were investors 2 years ago, when they could have bought these stocks for pennies? SU doesn't have as high a valuation, has 100% upside. Neither is at a level he'd buy today, he'd want meaningful pullbacks.
TOP PICK
Sold renewables business and assets in Norway, strategic review of retail business (an idea he's not fond of). Huge war chest. Bought majority interest in Fort Hills, a huge resource. Energy is still highly needed. Extremely well priced at these levels. Yield is 4.01%. (Analysts’ price target is $53.74)
DON'T BUY
Oilsands company with good assets. Doesn't own shares. If economy slows, oil prices will drop. Worried about energy prices. Hard to time energy investments.
BUY
Owns shares in the company. Going forward, company will have good prospects. Strong energy prices will benefit the company. Increasing production very good strategy. Demand for oil will continue to grow.
BUY
Likes energy in general. 12% dividend increase, doubled share buybacks. Energy prices are going to be firm going forward. Steady global demand for oil and low inventories. 15% free cashflow yield. Yield is 4.1%.
DON'T BUY
It is cheap but has been a big under-performer. Also it needs a better safety record. There will be new CEO but who will it be. There is more upside shorter term elsewhere.
