Suncor Stock (TSX:SU): 3 Reasons to Buy in October
The Suncor Energy (TSX:SU)(NYSE:SU) stock price is riding a strong wave higher. I mean, October has been a really good month for energy stocks. Actually, the whole of 2021 has been a series of good months for energy stocks. What has happened has been unexpected to many. It’s been a shift in the very supply/demand dynamics at play. This, of course, has changed everything. Oil and gas prices have been soaring. And it looks like investors may be reconsidering energy stocks.

So let’s talk Suncor stock as well as two other energy stocks to buy in October. The oil and gas industry is thriving once again. Don’t miss out on this massive upward wave.
Suncor stock: A leading integrated energy stock with a strong dividend Suncor is Canada’s leading integrated oil and gas company. But what can we say about Suncor stock? Well, we can surely say that this is a stock that has stood the test of time. Through good times and the bad, Suncor stock was resilient. In fact, Suncor’s stock price over the last decade illustrates this. This graph doesn’t show “blow the lights out” returns, but it does show resiliency. I mean, this period included really dark times for the oil and gas industry. But Suncor made it – a testament to its business.
In 2021, we have a bunch of catalysts that will finally take Suncor stock significantly higher again. For example, supply issues are taking centre stage, pushing oil and gas prices higher. Years of underinvestment in oil and gas have naturally led to higher prices. Also, on the demand side, we’re seeing a nice post-pandemic recovery.
2021 was the beginning of a new up-cycle in oil and gas. In this new environment, top energy stocks like Suncor stock can give us reasonable exposure. That’s how I’m thinking of this. Suncor is an undervalued gem that’s churning out cash flow and securing its long-term future and viability. It’s a must-own to play the upside in the energy sector today.
