Suncor, once the second most valuable company in Canada behind Royal Bank of Canada, has plunged an astounding 63 per cent this year from $42.56 per share on Jan. 1 to $15.55 each on Oct. 1, marking the company’s lowest price since 2003, when it was a much smaller oil producer. RBC has also lost its crown to Shopify Inc., or 15 per cent of its employees, on Oct. 2. Suncor shares traded up less than 1 per cent to $15.97 each midday Monday.
Suncor did not comment on whether its place as the largest Canadian oil company by market capitalization has helped the company attract investors in the past, and how it was managing the slide to second place. “Don’t judge a book by its cover. Everybody thinks CNRL is a heavy oil producer but they are also the country’s largest natural gas producer,” said Rafi Tahmazian, senior portfolio manager and partner with Canoe Financial.
This is good a Canadian company and if I am not mistaken a Alberta based company.
