Suncor Energy Inc. (SU-T) has garnered predominantly positive reviews from various experts, highlighting its successful corporate turnaround and solid performance in the challenging oil sands sector. Many emphasize its potential for significant free cash flow, particularly given the long-life reserves it possesses. While there is some caution regarding the oil price's volatility and future market conditions, the general sentiment leans towards a strong long-term outlook, especially if oil prices stabilize or increase. Some analysts compare SU favorably against peers like Cenovus Energy (CVE) and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), suggesting that both diversification and share buybacks enhance SU's investment case. Despite a few calls for caution, notably regarding management and current valuation metrics, SU is viewed as a staple in Canadian energy investments, making it a go-to choice for dividend-seeking investors.

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.)
TOP PICK
An excellent way to play the oil sands. Good long-term value and excellent assets. Cleaning out some of the PetroCan assets.
DON'T BUY
Can see a lot of growth from this, so doesn't own it. Still a lot of merger risks.
BUY
On an energy pairs trade, what would be the other side for this company? He likes this one on the Long side. The other side might be another oil stock or natural gas stock that he is not so happy with.
TOP PICK
Oldest operator, the best and cheapest. Had a couple of fires lately and it will take them a year or so to sell off the Petrocan assets that don't fit. Expect they will come out the other end with growth and focus.
TOP PICK
They have figured out how to operate in the oil sands. Have been going through some pain with the merger with Petrocan and then disposing of some assets and fixing some operational issues. Very cheap.
TOP PICK
Had problems with upgrader fires and weaker earnings because of integration. World-class management team and resources. Production is ramping up. Next few quarters will look poor but he is looking for production to go up 2.5 fold in 5 years.
BUY
Has been under performing until the last couple of weeks. Had some operating issues with fires at their oil sands. Looks like the worst is over as the stock has rebounded nicely. (See Top Picks.)
DON'T BUY
Somewhere in the middle between cheap and expensive. He can come up with better oil stocks. Prefers natural gas to oil. Cheap natural gas prices are unsustainable.
DON'T BUY
Was supposed to the great Canadian company, but then the costs got way out of whack.
BUY
Likes this one. Has lagged the group. There is a lot more potential in its Petrocan acquisition than people realize. Assets are undervalued, particularly heavy oil. Put this away for the long term.
BUY
Has lagged a lot leading into the recent upside in the oil sector area. Still some challenges with the Petrocan integration. Need to shed some properties and integrate 2 vastly different cultures. Will be a long process. Good long-term hold.
COMMENT
Have to be patient with this because of their Petrocan acquisition plus all of the cost overruns in their heavy oil sands projects. Trading at about 6X cash flow, which is a little rich for the seniors. If you can hold it for the next 5 or 10 years, it should be fine.
TOP PICK
Expectations after the first 6 months of their merger with PetroCan (PCA-T) are rock bottom. Takes a long time to bring these together. In the meantime there are about $1.5 billion of synergies coming out. Refining margins are coming back. Upgrader that was having fires is coming back sooner.
COMMENT
When an acquisition of another company is of almost equal size, there is always some indigestion. Selling non-core assets. If you believe crude is going to $100, it is a Strong Buy but if you think crude is in a trading range then Buy on weakness.
