Recent share price returns have cooled a little, with a modest pullback over the past month following a strong year to date rise. However, the 1 year total shareholder return above 20% suggests underlying momentum is still intact rather than fading.
If Suncor’s move has you thinking more broadly about the energy space, this could be a good moment to explore aerospace and defense stocks as another area where structural demand and resilient cash flows can support long term compounding.
With Suncor trading below analyst targets yet already delivering hefty multiyear gains, investors now face a key question: is there still undervalued upside here, or has the market largely priced in future growth?
With Suncor closing at CA$60.98 versus a narrative fair value of about CA$66.50, the current price bakes in a noticeable discount to long term cash generation.
Capital discipline and focus on high return projects, such as autonomous haulage implementation and mine debottlenecking, are expected to further reduce costs and expand cash generation, supporting sustainable long term earnings beyond current investor expectations.
