This summary was created by AI, based on 16 opinions in the last 12 months.

Suncor Energy Inc has received a mixed but generally positive reception from experts. There's a notable appreciation for the company's turnaround since 2014, highlighting its operational efficiency and long-life oil sands projects. The company's potential for free cash flow generation and commitment to shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks are emphasized as key strengths. However, concerns about fluctuations in oil prices and external geopolitical factors temper enthusiasm, with some experts favoring stocks like CNQ for various reasons. Overall, Suncor is viewed as a core holding in the Canadian energy sector with significant upside potential, though cautious approach is advised amid ongoing industry challenges.

TOP PICK
Generally speaking, oil has lagged the market recovery so expects they will go quite a bit higher. Had problems with fire. Integration with Petrocan has not gone as well as people had hoped. April numbers where incredibly strong so it looks like they have finally turned the corner. Superlative management team and one of the best reservoirs. Long reserve life.
TOP PICK
$41.62 is his model price. A 35% upside. In the Canadian market, oils have a lot of value in them.
COMMENT
There is quite a lot of oil available. The proof of that is the disaster in the Gulf has not pushed oil to $90.
COMMENT
Very leveraged to oil. Since acquisition of Petrocan they have been selling assets and using proceeds to pay down debt and funding of CapX to expand their oil sands. If you like exposure to crude, this is a great play.
BUY
Planning on growing their production 10% a year. Not a bad time to step in. They are over their worst. If oil stabilizes it will go back to $33 and has to be worth $45-50.
TOP PICK
Likes oil sands which is a long-term sustainable source of oil. This is one of the better oil sands players with good quality assets. Acquired Petrocan and has gone through some integration processes with some pain. Overcoming the integration problems and selling off some assets.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Doesn't like this one. But a very different company when they got Petrocan, which he didn't like anyway. A lot of execution risks.
BUY
All global senior oil has pulled back today. Likes oil sands longer-term. Low-cost. Doing a good job on fairly aggressive selling of non-core Petrocan assets. Earnings this year will be relatively flat and will start to rise substantially in 2011. Anytime it is at this price, it is a buy.
HOLD
We are in the shoulder season meaning there is not a lot of consumption until the summer driving and air conditioning seasons in the US. Oil companies don't do a lot until later in the summer. He plays energy by buying yield stocks such as Arc Energy (AET.UN-T), Enerplus (ERF.UN-T) or Crescent Point (CPG-T). Looking out, prospects are very good for this company.
BUY
In the penalty box because of 2 fires in their upgraders. There will be a turnaround in the refineries this summer. Starting to take out some of the costs from their merger with PetroCan. Trading at about 6X 2011 price to cash flow.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Continues to like it longer term. Have 50-year reserve life in the oil sands asset. BP issue is having a positive effect. Added to his position a few weeks ago and the past few days.
COMMENT
Reasonably good name in Canada and you don't have currency exposure. Prefers beyond Canada with larger firms that have better balance sheets and better resources in the ground such as Shell (RDS.A-N), Exxon (XOM-N) and Chevron (CVX-N).
DON'T BUY
Seasonality for oil is from November 25 until the beginning of May, right now. Chart shows it got turned down from its resistance point and is in a little bit of a channel. If it goes below $27, he would be very cautious.
TOP PICK
Has missed expectations for investors when it was PetroCanada but exceeded them when they were Suncor. The merger gets the great assets of Petrocan and the great management of Suncor. Starting to beat expectations.
WEAK BUY
Coming back on his Buy radar. An awakening technical laggard that looks like it wants to break out. Has taken time to swallow the Petrocan acquisitions and have had some issues in their oil sands project. (See Top Picks.)
