(A Top Pick Jun 24/21, Up 55%) He's adding to this. Energy remains attractive as oil prices remain firm. The current pullback in oil prices opens an opportunities. Pays a 2% dividend. 10% free cash flow. Will buyback shares and pays dividends.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly The recent tragic events in Ukraine underscore the urgency of security of energy supply and that is why COP is reiterated as a TOP PICK. With holdings in the most prolific basins in the US -- Eagle Ford shale, Bakken shale, and Delaware Basin and term debt that is only 23% of the capital structure makes this a good strategic fit. We also like that they have building cash reserves while paying down debt and buying back shares and it pays a dividend backed by a payout ratio of 33% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $50) to $80, looking to achieve $115 -- over 16% upside. Yield 1.45% (Analysts’ price target is $103.56)

2016 was the year management would like to forget. They were caught with their pants down when oil prices collapsed in Jan/Feb 2016, to the point where they had to cut their dividend. They went back to the drawing board. Had an analyst’s day at the end of 2016, where they said they were going to sell $5-$8 billion of assets in 2017. They sold over $13 billion of assets already, and have used that to repair the balance sheet. They’re buying back stock. Thinks they are positioning the company in a position of strength in an environment in the energy sector, which is going to continue to be volatile. Dividend yield of 2.1%. (Analysts’ price target is $53.)
