If you suppose it is going to keep elevated, this could possibly be simply a fully terrific inventory as a result of the oil sands can generate large earnings progress,” the “Mad Money” host stated.
“However, certainly, for those who consider oil will peak quickly and head meaningfully decrease, this inventory’s going to be a canine and it will not matter what modifications [Elliot Management] make,” he added.
Shares of Suncor fell 2.58% on Friday however reached a brand new 52-week excessive earlier within the day.
Elliott Management cited “missed manufacturing targets, excessive prices, and, tragically, plenty of worker fatalities and different security incidents” in its letter.
Suncor responded to Elliott’s letter stating it should overview the funding agency’s suggestions.
“Whether you have a look at it from a monetary perspective or a purely human perspective, this isn’t a well-run enterprise,” Cramer stated of Suncor’s monitor document.
