Suncor Energy (SU) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
Suncor generates steady and robust cash flows with a commitment to returning all its excess funds to shareholders. Operating efficiency has consistently improved under CEO Richard Kruger, with further upside in production volume and downside in costs. The stock looks undervalued versus peers, and I initiate coverage with a buy rating based on a more reasonable EV/Ebitda ratio.
SU's record output, strong margins and disciplined capital returns support a hold stance, even as commodity risks and regulatory pressures linger.
