Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO)(CNQ) shares were downgraded by TPH & Co. on Monday. At the same time, the Houston-based research firm joins a growing camp of analysts favouring Suncor Energy (SU.TO)(SU) and Imperial Oil (IMO.TO)(IMO) amid the risk of U.S. tariffs on Canadian crude.

Analyst Jeoffrey Lambujon cites valuation concerns as he lowered his recommendation on Canadian Natural Resources’ stock from “buy” to “hold,” while maintaining a $50 per share price target. He upgraded Suncor and Imperial from “hold” to “buy” on Monday, with price targets at $66 and $115 per share, respectively.

“While we view CNQ’s asset quality and reliable execution as world-class, and see recent weakness as more noise-related versus structural, we’re moving to the sidelines on valuation,” he wrote in a note to clients.

“Looking ahead, we don’t doubt CNQ’s ability to continue crushing the quarters, and 2025 could bring further operational improvement following recent transactions (all positive, in our view), but for now, we see better rate-of-change potential elsewhere among Canadian seniors.”

Suncor shares have climbed since the company reported fourth-quarter and year-end 2024 financial results last week. CEO Rich Kruger says Suncor is the best-positioned in Canada’s oil and gas sector to withstand a trade war involving oil with the United States.

Kruger also boasted on a conference call with analysts that Suncor has hit several internal milestones earlier than expected under his push to improve safety, cut costs, and limit downtime since becoming CEO in 2023.

“From scrappy underdog to league MVP, reflecting multi-year track record of execution and accelerated progress on major strategic targets,” Lambujon wrote of Suncor.

Owing to their respective refining and fuel marketing businesses in Canada, Suncor and Imperial have been praised by analysts covering the sector since U.S. President Donald Trump began threatening levies on imported oil and gas.

On Imperial, Lambujon notes that “[a] long history of high-calibre operational execution, fresh [substantial issuer bid] trigger potential, and a safety net from tariff risks turn us more bullish.”

Toronto-listed Canadian Natural Resources, Imperial Oil, and Suncor shares all closed between one and two per cent higher on Monday.

Millie Bobby Brown plans to 'shave her hair off' again for major life event
Millie Bobby Brown wants to "shave her hair off" when she has her first baby. The 21-year-old actress - who is getting married to Jon Bon Jovi's son Jake Bongiovi - is keen to raise a family in the future, and she'd love to go back to her 'Stranger Things' look by getting rid of her locks in time for giving birth. She told the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast: "I always tell Jake, for my first baby, I want to shave my hair off. "I don’t know. It was really liberating, would suggest it for anyone. Any girl... Maybe [I would shave it] right before I’m about to give birth because I just think hair is such an ordeal anyway to deal with. "I’m gonna nurture my child. Why deal with my hair? And I think it’s such a liberating experience. "To be a woman is, and I felt like I had that experience as a girl, but I’d like to have that experience as a woman." Millie was just 12 years old when she was cast as Eleven in 'Stranger Things', but she had absolutely no qualms about shaving her head before filming the hit Netflix show. She recalled: "I honestly did not care and I’m saying that like I really did not care. I didn’t have anxiety, I wasn’t sad when they shaved it off. "I just thought, 'Cool. Now this is what I’m doing.' I think it started to hit me months and months in where you get to that age where you’re 11 now and you’re shaving it consecutively every three days because it cannot grow past a certain length because we’re filming, so continuity-wise you’re shaving it, so every time it started to grow and I’d get excited, we’d shave it again." She started to feel "insecure" once she and her friends were getting to the age where boys were getting interested in other girls. She added: "So, I think it became to the point where I was like 12, 11 or 12, where I was like, the boys started liking girls and I was kind of like maybe, 'Why are boys not liking me?' "And then I was like, 'I’m feeling insecure now,' so I would put wigs on and I did get really, really bullied. "In public, people would make comments and stuff but honestly, I still to this day loved the experience and I would do it again."
