Devon Energy Corp (DVN) has received mixed reviews from experts regarding its current position in the energy market. While some analysts acknowledge the strength of its natural gas holdings, they caution against purchasing nat gas at the peak of its recent run. The company is undergoing a solid merger, which has contributed to its stability and re-rating in the market. Even though there are warnings about the potential peak in uncertainty for supply, some experts suggest taking profits in oil and gold, emphasizing that DVN can be a safer investment compared to tech stocks. Overall, investors may find it a reasonable choice for long-term holding, especially with a trailing stop strategy in place for risk management.

HOLD
How far does oil have to go before the dividend looks unattractive? At $70 a barrel for oil, you will need to rethink things. He saw the bottom in oil at $72-73 when the price held. He'd hold onto Devon. Likes it very much.
BUY
She's bullish oil. Devon trades at 7x PE and pays nearly a 8% dividend.
DON'T BUY
Model price of $119.81, upside of 77%. Oils have done very well. Going forward, bearish on commodity producers. He can't recommend it until we see where we're going with the economy, recession, currencies, etc.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate this leading US E&P company. The company just signed a deal with a midstream company that will develop their LNG reach by up to 2 million tons annually -- a nice cash flow generator. It trades at only 8x earnings, well below its peer group and recent earnings support a 48% ROE. The dividend has a fixed and floating component, so the yield may not remain this high, so it is a bit of a call on forward energy prices -- a good inflation hedge. We continue to recommend a stop loss at $54, looking to achieve $79.50 -- upside potential over 23%. Yield 7% (Analysts’ price target is $79.39)
BUY
Excellent company that provides strong dividend. 10 year of stay flat inventory (Permian focused). Good company if want yield. Capital appreciation will not be as much as other names.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly DVN continues to be upgraded by several analysts. It has increased its dividend for 5 consecutive years and it is backed by a payout ratio under 70% of next years projected earnings. The dividend has a fixed and floating component, so the yield may not remain this high, so it is a bit of a call on forward energy prices -- a good inflation hedge. Recent reported earnings beat expectations and support an impressive 36% ROE. It trades at 11x earnings. We like that it has been increasing cash reserves, while retiring debt early and buying back shares. We recommend setting a stop loss at $43, looking to achieve $81.50 -- upside potential over 37%. Yield 8.65% (Analysts’ price target is $81.21)
BUY
Oil is the best performing sector now as demand remains strong. Will probably do well with this stock or Exxon as long as oil stays strong. DVN had to sell off its Russian division. It boils down to whether you're in this space or now. DVN trades at an attractive 23% free cash flow yield.
BUY
It can both grow and maintain production. Free cash flow will go to dividends and not to re-investment. Most large oil companies are not re-investing in projects except to offset declines so an over-supply is not likely. The risk is management execution and commodity price.
STRONG BUY
She bought this yesterday when it fell 11%, because she's very bullish energy. They're buying back shares, lowering their debt, have a 16% free cash flow yield (S&P is 5%) and raised their dividend to 8%. They check all the boxes. She paid around $62 to hold it long term.
BUY
Devon is up 160% in the past year. The E&P companies are pricing maybe $65-75 oil, so as long as oil stays elevated they are minting cash. Yes, ESG pressures will cap what they can produce long term. So, they're making what they can now and paying that out to shareholders. It's still not expensive.
