Valuation
Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.
Seeded from CNQ's reported EPS growth of 14.8% a year over 13 years.
- EPS in 5 years
- $10.32
- Implied price
- $92.85
- Return from $48.44
- 13.9% a year
To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $46.16 — -4.7% below today's price.
How sensitive is that answer?
Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.
| growth \ P/E | 5 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.8% | -7.6% | -1.1% | 4.0% | 8.2% | 11.9% |
| 9.8% | -3.1% | 3.6% | 8.9% | 13.4% | 17.3% |
| 14.8% | 1.3% | 8.3% | 13.9% | 18.6% | 22.6% |
| 19.8% | 5.7% | 13.0% | 18.9% | 23.7% | 27.9% |
| 24.8% | 10.1% | 17.8% | 23.8% | 28.9% | 33.3% |
This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.

5 Stocks I Want If Oil Hits $100 Energy remains my top sector for 2026, with structural underweighting in the S&P 500 and compelling long-term rotation potential. Oil market dynamics are complex: inventory drawdowns, geopolitical risks, and inflation sensitivity create both upside and macroeconomic hazards. My preferred energy picks—TPL, VNOM, CNQ, CVX, and WBI—offer high margins, inflation protection, and resilience across oil price scenarios.

Q2 saw CNQ generate $2.9 billion in free cash flow, sharply increasing buybacks and progressing toward a 100% free cash flow return to shareholders.
