Canadian Natural Resources is positioned to reward shareholders significantly as high oil prices boost free cash flow. Despite a quieter first quarter with earnings per share dropping to $0.65 and free cash flow falling by nearly $1 billion, production rose 5% year over year. Management plans to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders once net debt falls below $13 billion, supported by accelerated share buybacks in the second quarter. Expected returns are 13.6% through 2027 and 12% annually to 2031, with buybacks enhancing per-share value growth.
