Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (CNQ) is frequently regarded as one of the top-performing energy stocks in Canada, with experts highlighting its strong management, stable production, and robust cash flows. Analysts appreciate the company's ability to maintain profitability even in low oil price environments, citing its low breakeven point and diverse asset base including both oil and natural gas. While many analysts remain bullish on CNQ due to its consistent dividend payments and disciplined capital allocation strategies, there are concerns regarding its valuation at current price levels, with some expressing caution in light of recent price surges in oil. Generally, the sentiment indicates that long-term investors should consider CNQ a key holding in the resource sector, despite potential short-term volatility influenced by global oil market dynamics and geopolitical events.
She will own this for the next 30 years. Very bullish. She likes CNQ at $60 oil, so $100 oil today is a bonus. Management is discipline, their Oil Sands are long-life with low decline, and have a strong dividend records. They make money even at low $50 oil. She added more shares recently.
She trimmed on the big runup. Still one of the top O&G producers in Canada. Essential backbone of Canadian energy. Stands out on capital return. Raised dividend again. Compounded annual growth of 20%. Ranks 9/10 on value.
Energy will still be one of the top performers for 2026. If oil pulls back, this name will see some volatility -- great time to take a look at it.
If you already have oils in your portfolio, don't buy now. If you share his thesis that the Strait will be challenged with only some traffic going through, then we're probably looking at $80-90 oil. Canadian oil companies are at a massive advantage because we're really trying to expand our markets.
For a 5-year horizon, CNQ looks really good. On the nat gas side, he likes TOU and PEY.
Bit expensive (8x PE) relative to peers (7x PE). Balance sheet in good shape. Q4 was very strong, beat by 7% and 1% on production. Increased dividend by 6.4%. Solid operational performance.
A fair value, meritorious name that really works if oil goes below $50. If oil stays where it is, does really well. If you don't have any oil and with a 5-year horizon, you could buy at this level. Problem with waiting to buy is that you often miss it.
Wouldn't pick it up today (and he owns it). Consistently rises to the top as an oily choice in the Basin. Low decline rate, low extraction cost.
Stock's way up on higher oil, almost 50% YTD. Higher oil for longer is already baked into the price. It's more of a Sell.
He'd love to buy more as price of oil continues to fall. Closest thing to a forever asset in Canadian energy. Reserves represent ~36 years of production. ROIC is in 15% range with oil in $60-70 range, while funding costs are $40-ish. Making $$ hand over fist -- going to buybacks, debt reduction, and dividends.
If any escalation in wars elsewhere (what if China decides to block the Taiwan Strait?), and WTI goes to $100, then its ROIC jumps to mid-20s%. It's time to be in resource commodities. Yield is 4.21%.
One of his favourites, one of the best managed anywhere in the world. We're not in a $65 oil price world anymore, more like $80. Potential for natural gas egress expansion off the West Coast. Largest oil producer in Canada, and one of the largest nat gas producers.
100% of FCF going to be returned to shareholders. 25 straight years of dividend increases. Debt being paid down faster with higher oil price. For new clients, he's taking half positions. If you can get it under $60, you'll be happy. Yield is 3.93%.

He won't bet on commodities on bad news. They grow production every year and watch costs. They have giant reserves. Long term, a headwind will be growing demand for EVs, as in China. Oil will eventually revert to $50-60 and this stock will correct a bit. CNQ can grow production 3-5% a year and its dividend 5-10%. He will own this long term. Is doing all the right things.
