Is Suncor Energy Inc. (NYSE:SU) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Suncor Energy Inc. at current levels.
Boring Canadian oil major with 60% gross margins, $9B free cash flow, and a decade of bitumen reserves the market treats like a dying asset.
Where SU is headed
Suncor in late 2028 looks nothing like the operationally embarrassing company Elliott Management forced to clean itself up in 2022. Mine productivity at Fort Hills and Base Mine is running at tier-one levels, Firebag and MacKay River are humming near nameplate, and the Petro-Canada retail arm, roughly 1,800 stations, is throwing off refining and marketing cash that insulates the whole business from WTI swings in a way pure-play E&P names can only envy. Management has guided to sub-$40 WTI breakevens including sustaining capex and dividend. At $70 oil, that spread is a cash printing machine.
