SUNCOR ENERGY INC earns a Buy rating from our quantitative model with a composite score of 73/100, ranking #32 among 7,333 U.S. stocks. The model sees a stock with an above-average factor profile — not without risks, but with enough quantitative support to warrant a constructive outlook.
The strongest dimension is value at 90/100, which places SU in the top 10 percent of all stocks on this measure. quality at 87/100 provides secondary support. No single factor falls below the average threshold, which is a constructive sign.
Within the Mining sector, SU ranks 2nd out of 50 peers, placing it in the 96th percentile. At $46.0 billion, the company is a well-established large cap.
Six-Factor Scorecard
Our model evaluates every U.S. stock across six independently measured dimensions. Each score represents a percentile rank — a score of 80 means the stock ranks higher than 80 percent of all companies on that factor.
Key Financial Metrics
Quality Analysis
SUNCOR ENERGY INC's quality score of 87/100 places it among the top profitability performers in the market. The quality factor evaluates margins, return on equity, return on assets, and earnings consistency — the fundamental building blocks of a durable business.
Return on equity of 13.1% exceeds the sector median of 4.0%. Gross margins of 58.3% reflect strong pricing power and competitive moats. Operating margins of 18.4% sit above the 7.0% sector average.
Net margins of 11.0% show the company is profitable, though not with exceptional efficiency.
Valuation Assessment
A value score of 90/100 puts SU in the top 10 percent of all stocks on cheapness — suggesting the market is significantly underpricing the company's fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 11.0x, an EV/EBITDA of 4.5x, a price-to-book of 1.5x, a price-to-sales of 1.2x. Deep value scores like this historically correlate with above-average forward returns, though they can also reflect legitimate concerns about business quality that the value factor does not capture.
Momentum & Timing
SU's momentum score of 55/100 indicates a largely neutral price trend — the stock is neither leading nor lagging the market in a meaningful way. Neutral momentum typically means the stock is consolidating or waiting for a catalyst to push it in either direction.
Revenue growth of -3.6% is declining, which makes the momentum signal more precarious. A beta of 0.41 means SUNCOR ENERGY INC moves with less volatility than the market, which can be attractive for risk-conscious investors.
Our entry timing model currently signals Favorable, which warrants caution despite the price trend.
Risk Factors
No investment comes without risks, and honest analysis requires flagging them clearly:
- Model limitations. Quantitative models measure what is measurable — financial ratios, price trends, leverage — but cannot capture qualitative factors like management quality, competitive positioning, or pending litigation. This analysis should be supplemented with fundamental due diligence.
- Market regime risk. Factor-based strategies perform differently across market regimes. The current factor exposures that support SUNCOR ENERGY INC's rating may become headwinds if the macro environment shifts — for example, if interest rates move sharply or if sector rotation accelerates.
Bottom Line
SUNCOR ENERGY INC earns a Buy rating with a composite score of 73/100 and 4 out of 5 stars, ranking #32 among 7,333 stocks. The factor profile is constructive — not without blemishes, but with enough quantitative support to position SU above the majority of the market.
