Chevron Texaco (CVX-N) has received mixed reviews from various experts, with many acknowledging its strong balance sheet, disciplined capital allocation, and consistent dividend growth. Some experts view it positively due to its recent performance, free cash flow generation, and the potential benefits it could reap from operations related to Venezuela. However, there are concerns about the stock's recent rally and its valuation, as some believe it trades at a premium and warn against the euphoria surrounding potential gains from the Venezuelan market. Additionally, not all experts are fans of oil stocks in general, pointing to a lack of growth in the energy sector. Overall, while there are positive sentiments towards CVX-N, caution is advised due to the volatility within the energy cycle and uncertain market conditions.

CVE,Cenovus

BUY

Oil price outlook? He trimmed his holding when shares were higher. Likes it. He expects oil to take a stab higher at $100 but will hang around current levels really. Chevron will make money in the $80-100 oil range.

BUY

Just reported solid Q2 earnings and the price target rose Energy demand will still be strong (even though crude oil prices have been declining). Majors like Chevron make a lot of money even if oil is at $60. He likes it and has not been trimming his shares. In fact, he would add to it. You have staying power in Chevron especially with their strong balance sheet.

STRONG BUY

Just reported solid Q2 earnings and the price target rose The stock is down 17% from its high, pays over a 3.5% dividend yield, and trades at 8.5x PE. The quarter was really good. It's interesting that they chose to increase their share buyback than increase production, which fell in that quarter. They're returning cash to shareholders like the other oil companies. She has been adding to energy on this pullback. Oil companies can make money at $40-50 oil/barrel, including Chevron. She expects more returns to shareholders. Oil stocks remain cheap and earnings went up for the group. It's her favourite sector.

BUY

Share buybacks are enough to continue to drive shares. OPEC this week is the major energy story.

BUY

Posted records profits today. Shares are surging today and so far this year. Nice top and bottom line beats and return on capital of 26% as they reduced debt below 15%. Also, they raised their share buyback. The oil supply/demand imbalance won't change for a while.

PARTIAL SELL

They report Friday. They have given back many of their gains since last earnings. That said, health and oil are the best places this week. He believes CVX can deliver. That said, he sold some shares today because of today's rally. He still expects good numbers.

SELL

He sold it, but missed the high price. Policy remains very oil negative. If the US mid-terms see a shift in person, he may return to this.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/21, Up 34.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CVX triggered its stop at $155. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 42%, when combined with previous buy recommendations.

COMMENT

It hasn't grown much. Canadian oil and gas companies are growing faster so are preferable.

BUY

Great balance sheet and cash flow. Great place to hide during volatility.

TOP PICK

It is a high quality company with an excellent balance sheet. It is a strong free cash generator with the ability to pay dividends. Also can maintain single digit growth starting next year. It is one of the largest producers in the Eastern Mediterranean basin and can increase natural gas production and distribution to Europe. Longer term oil prices should continue to rise since few companies are willing to increase their supply, thereby constraining overall supply. The risk to oil is recession if there is one. Buy 16, Hold 13, Sell 2.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/21, Up 52.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CVX is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $138) to $155.

BUY

You need to own oil as crude oil is hammered as Russian oil is cut off spending. He doesn't believe the new lockdowns in China have a lasting effect (the lockdowns are temporary), unless there's a cut-off in Russian energy supplies. His favourite oil names are Chevron for their steady dividend, and Devon which returns a lot of cash flow to investors through a variable dividend instead of drilling recklessly.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/21, Up 37.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with CVX is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $130) to $138.

TOP PICK

An integrated oil company and well positioned with exposure to refining and chemicals. These will give more consistent profitability and cash flow. No exposure to Russia. Good environmental and safety record. Has a strong balance sheet and consistently returns capital to shareholders. Good growth prospects over 10 years. Has restarted a project to build a gas pipeline to bring Israeli and potentially Egyptian gas to Europe. Could be part of the solution to Europe's reliance on Russia for gas supplies.
