Suncor Energy Given “Neutral” Rating at Zacks (SU)

Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU)‘s stock had its “neutral” rating restated by Zacks in a report issued on Monday. They currently have a $33.00 target price on the stock.

Zacks’ analyst wrote, “Suncor – Canada’s biggest energy firm and the largest oil sands outfit possesses an impressive portfolio of growth opportunities, a unique asset base and high return potential in the long run. Embarking on a series of divestitures, the company is getting back on track following its merger with Petro-Canada. Additionally, given our bullish outlook for the medium-term oil price scenario, we think Suncor is nicely positioned to benefit from its leverage to commodity prices. However, we are remaining on the sidelines at this point until we get better proof of the company’s sustainable operational efficiency. Consequently, we see the stock performing in line with the broader market and maintain our Neutral recommendation on Suncor.”
