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.

CNQ
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.
SELL ON STRENGTH
Energy looks challenging near-term. Crude could test down to $80, even $60. There are also Russian supply gluts and civil unrest in Iran. Trim on bounces. Be cautious.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this 720,000 boepd producer as a TOP PICK. Consider this as an inflation hedge that pays you to hold it. It currently trades at 7x earnings and 1.5x book value and supports a ROE of 24%. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 30% of earnings. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $32, looking to achieve $50 -- upside potential over 21%. Yield 4.6% (Analysts’ price target is $49.95)
