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
One of the benchmark stocks in Canada. Bullish on energy as a group, despite the great run. Higher oil prices will persist. Move to electric will take longer than believed. Oil prices have come off recently, due to recessionary fears, but prices shouldn't go much lower.
HOLD
New CEO should be a good catalyst for share appreciated. Cheap share price of stock (trading at 2.6x cash flow). Company could implement strong dividend and share buybacks if desired. Wait and see what happens with new CEO.
BUY
In the sweet spot. Energy will probably stay a bit higher over time than thought, and SU will benefit. Ask yourself strategically whether you want to be in energy? If so, this is a good stock.
BUY
Trading at 200-day MA, a potential support level. Serious imbalance with supply/demand. Russia-Ukraine situation will affect supply, which should firm up prices. 12% dividend increase, doubled share repurchase plan. Free cashflow yield is very strong, about 16-17%. Yield is 4.7%.
DON'T BUY
Company has great asset base and is a good business. Large amounts of cash flow with high energy prices. Not sure what outcome of oil price will be. If growth of economy slows down, will affect demand for oil. Not investing in energy sector.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Does not own stock. Believes recent management team change was good. Currently value is excellent with share price. No catalyst to increase share price.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This 720,000 boepd producer saw a four fold increase in net earnings over the year. The company has announced a deal to divest their UK and Norwegian assets for over $400 million. The new CEO has pledged to improve the company's safety record. It currently trades at 10x earnings and 1.5x book value and supports a ROE of 24%. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $32, looking to achieve $50 -- upside potential over 24%. Yield 4.79% (Analysts’ price target is $49.95)
WAIT
Why selling gas stations? Activist investor is looking for ways to unlock value in the shares. He prefers CNQ in the large cap space, a more disciplined capital allocator. This one's in wait-and-see mode.
Unspecified
It is a multi-faceted company and has held up in spite of the short-term drop in oil prices. Favourable in the near term but in the long term it is questionable where oil will go.
TOP PICK
Not concerned about recent turnover in management. Generational assets with extremely long reserve life. Believes assets are very undervalued. Rise in energy prices creating record cash flow and profitability. Share price presenting very good buying opportunity.
TOP PICK
Largest integrated company in Canada. Shares down to 200-day MA, due to safety issues, an opportunity. Sale of retail unit would unlock shareholder value. Energy prices will remain firm over many years. Saudis surprise-announced they have a ceiling on production capacity. Yield is 4.62%. (Analysts’ price target is $57.77)
TOP PICK
Attractive dividend, 35% free cashflow. Activist investor is making positive changes such as new CEO, board seats, and selling down retail. Oil has run, but the Ukraine conflict is not over. Having some exposure to commodities, and oil in particular, in an inflationary environment makes some sense. Yield is 4.66%. (Analysts’ price target is $58.07)
DON'T BUY
Sadly, 5th fatality since 2021. Needs to be a real change in culture to improve safety, which is creating a disconnect from what underlying commodities are doing. Shareholder activism has produced good returns. Near-term challenges.
HOLD
Generating huge free cash and returning it to shareholders. Getting over operational issues. Huge valuation gap from its larger peers. Balance sheet's in great condition. Continue to hold if you believe, as he does, that energy prices will remain elevated.
HOLD
John: Shareholder activism has come to SU, and this should help the valuation. Likes oil more than nat gas, as oil is in a structural shortage. Oil players are extremely cheap, with 30% cashflow yields, 2x operating cashflow. Perhaps not a hold for the next 5-10 years, but a good rental.
