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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Oil will take a temporary pause. If oil falls below $95 it will take out a lot of sentiment from this sector. Chevron is a full quarter of the XLE. He'll add more energy in pullbacks, definitely Chevron which is the creme de la creme.

HOLD

A major holding for her. It's had a nice run. It's up 45% YTD and pays a 3.3% yield. It's a powerhouse, because they have steady production, lowering their capex and so have huge free cash flow. They've increased their share buybacks and dividends. She may shed her other oil names, but will keep this.

SELL ON STRENGTH

It's up 45% YTD, playing into the supply-demand story in oil and they've been disciplined with costs. He hasn't trimmed it yet, though he will in coming weeks with all this volatility. It has the best balance sheet in the sector. It's a market-weight hold for him. Still likes it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He's exited most of his oil stocks, but replaced them with option calls. He'd buy oil on dips. All energy (including uranium and gas) across the board will rise in the next 3-6 months, because of cutbacks and sanctions happening now.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With oil prices remaining above $65 and the threat of inflation returning post-pandemic, we reiterate CVX as a TOP PICK. Recently reported earnings beat analyst expectations by 33%. The company is a dividend aristocrat, increasing the dividend for the past 33 consecutive years. Next year’s projected earnings place the dividend payout ratio under 65% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop to $101, looking to achieve $130 – upside over 12%. Yield 4.72% (Analysts’ price target is $129.55)

BUY

The best large American integrated oil company, with exposure to refining and retail. It pays a 4.6% dividend yield and is buying back shares. It reported a blow-out quarter in late October. It's an oil company trying to be more environmentally friendly by spending $10 billion in capital investments through 2028.

BUY

Today, it delivered a strong quarter, but the company is so big that the stock barely moved. It remains a buy.

BUY

He just bought it. Oil is uninvestable, but you can trade it. Like this. Chevron is getting into carbon capture, making ESG strides. Oil will keep moving higher though eventually will return to Earth.

COMMENT

It says it's getting aggressive about reducing its carbon footprint, including investing $10 billion through 2028 in lower-carbon projects. They announced these plans at yesterday's shareholders meeting.

COMMENT

They report Friday. Keep an open mind. The major oils are starting to make a serious effort to offset the damage of oil and shrink their large carbon footprints. This may make ESG money managers interested in buying their stock.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly A return to oil prices above $70 and the threat of inflation returning post-pandemic are two big reasons to own CVX. The company is a dividend aristocrat, increasing the dividend for the past 34 consecutive years. Next year’s projected earnings place the dividend payout ratio at 76% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $80, looking to achieve $123 – upside over 20%. Yield 5.11% (Analysts’ price target is $121.93)

BUY

Oil hit intraday highs today and continues to rally.
