The S&P 500 has delivered an 80% return over the past three years, significantly outperforming energy stocks. Despite a 7% year-to-date gain, energy remains an underperformer compared to the broader market's 18% rise. Energy sector volatility, driven by weak demand and OPEC supply actions, has challenged investors throughout the year.

SU's 2026 guidance outlines higher production, strong refining utilization and a stronger commitment to shareholder returns backed by disciplined investments.

Suncor's strong execution, lower breakevens, and 100% excess cash returns position it ahead of Chevron heading into 2026.
