Method: 10-year two-stage unlevered FCF DCF (CAD converted at 1 USD = 1.4258 CAD): C$7,800M (~US$5,470M) normalized base FCF, between FY2025's C$8,315M and FY2024's C$8,003M and below the commodity-price-elevated TTM C$9,657M; 3% FCF growth years 1-5, 1.5% years 6-10 reflecting continued oil-sands production growth; 9% discount rate; 2% terminal growth; less C$17,565M (~US$12,319M) net debt; 2.06B shares outstanding.

Reasoning: As a large, diversified Canadian oil-sands and conventional producer with one of the lowest-decline reserve bases in the sector, CNQ's cash flows are less commodity-cycle-sensitive than a typical pure-play E&P, supporting modest real growth in the model rather than a flat perpetuity, while still applying a premium discount rate for oil-price risk.
