RBC Capital maintains Suncor stock Outperform with Cdn$65 target

On Thursday, RBC Capital Markets reiterated its Outperform rating on Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU) shares, maintaining a price target of Cdn$65.00. Suncor Energy, which is listed on both the Canadian and New York stock exchanges, has been recognized for its strong operational and financial performance in the recent quarter. With a market capitalization of $41.8 billion and an "GOOD" overall financial health score according to InvestingPro, the company maintains a solid position in the market.

RBC Capital’s analyst highlighted the company’s "unmistakable momentum," which bolsters confidence in Suncor’s long-term prospects. The analyst’s statement underscored the firm’s position on Suncor, reinforcing the Outperform rating and the one-year price target of Cdn$65 per share. The analyst also noted Suncor’s status as a top pick, being included in RBC Capital’s Global Energy Best Ideas list. InvestingPro data reveals that Suncor has maintained dividend payments for 33 consecutive years, with a current dividend yield of 4.66%.

According to RBC Capital, under future pricing, Suncor is trading at a 2025 estimated debt-adjusted cash flow multiple of 6.2 times, which is slightly below the global major peer group average of 6.5 times. Moreover, Suncor’s free cash flow yield (equity) stands at 7%, compared to the peer group average of 6%. These financial metrics support the analyst’s view that Suncor should command an average or above-average valuation relative to its global peers. Current InvestingPro metrics show a P/E ratio of 9.8x and an attractive EV/EBITDA of 4.27x, suggesting the stock may be undervalued compared to its peers.

The positive assessment of Suncor’s stock is attributed to several factors, including the company’s integrated business model, strong performance across upstream and downstream operations, robust free cash flow generation, solid balance sheet, and substantial returns to shareholders. However, the analysis also acknowledges that Suncor will need to address the eventual depletion of its Base mine in the future.

RBC Capital’s reaffirmation of the Outperform rating and the Cdn$65.00 price target reflects confidence in Suncor Energy’s ability to maintain its financial and operational strength in the energy sector.
