The Financial Post reports in its Thursday edition that two years ago, Suncor Energy was a company dealing with a string of workplace accidents, sputtering operations and an activist investor at the door. The Post's James Rose writes, however, on Tuesday, Suncor reported the most cash it has ever generated in a single quarter -- and told shareholders they would be getting more of it. Suncor is Canada's third-biggest oil producer behind Canadian Natural Resources and Cenovus, respectively. The Calgary-based company, which also owns the Petro-Canada chain of gas stations, said it brought in $6.7-billion in adjusted funds from operations in the three months ended Sept. 30. That is up from $3.8-billion a year earlier. Profit this quarter more than doubled to $3.8-billion. The company is putting much of that money back in investors' pockets. Suncor raised its quarterly dividend by 10 per cent and boosted its monthly share buybacks to $750-million from $500-million. It now expects to repurchase $5.5-billion worth of its own stock this year. Suncor also confirmed it is selling its stakes in the Terra Nova, White Rose and West White Rose projects for $1.2-billion, plus as much as $350-million more if oil prices hold up.
