SUNCOR ENERGY INC. $36 (Toronto symbol SU; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Resources sector; Shares outstanding: 1.7 billion; Market cap: $61.2 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 2.1; Dividend yield: 3.2%; TSINetwork Rating: Average; www. suncor.com) is Canada’s largest integrated oil company.

Suncor is considering selling its Petro-Canada lubricants business. It makes a variety of greases and oils, mainly for automobiles and industrial machinery. It also makes products for the beauty and pharmaceutical industries.

A sale could raise $800 million for Suncor. That would help it pay down the loans it needed to raise its stake in Alberta’s Syncrude oil sands project, from 12.0% to 53.74%. In all, the company paid $5.2 billion for the additional shares.

Suncor is a buy.
