Experts have mixed opinions on Devon Energy Corp (DVN). One expert praises the company for its solid natural gas holdings but advises against purchasing natural gas following a significant price increase. Another expert mentions a potential opportunity for profit-taking in commodities like gold and oil, suggesting that the current supply uncertainty may have reached its peak. Another review highlights the stability of DVN as a reliable investment choice compared to tech stocks, with the company's Q4 guidance being average yet sufficient for a positive reassessment of the stock.

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.
BUY
Well run company that is good at returning capital. Currently pursuing exact strategy investors want. US energy companies trading a premium compared to Canadian energy companies. Good company for investors who want income.
BUY
By far, energy is the hottest sector. Devon is among the best exploration and production companies (E&P). It pays a bountiful variable dividend. He recently bought this.
BUY
Among the 10 top performers on the S&P of 2021 #1. Up 179% in 2021. The best-run oil company. It began the year with a merger. Their variable dividend last year that put them atop the S&P in terms of yield, now 7.4%. The new CEO is drilling for more crude with less capital, yet returning a lot of money to investors. He expects another strong year for Devon and the oil industry. Peers are copying Devon's model.
BUY
Options trading A beta name. He's been buying energy this year. Devon has had a great run this year and maybe more to come. 4,000 of the April $49 calls were bought today at $2.80 to over $3.00. Devon is retracing its July 2018 highs, so he sees more room to run. He bought.
BUY
This year so far, oil and natural gas prices have gone nuts. American oil producers have finally got religion by no longer endlessly drilling, but by returning capital to shareholders. Devon pays a huge variable dividend.
BUY
They're returning capital to shareholders rather than wasting their money on endless drilling. They're now paying a variable dividend, which means very high yields given the high price of oil, though slightly down from its high.
BUY
He was surprised to learn that Devon is the second-best performer int he first half of 2021. returned to shareholders.What really sets this apart is its 6% dividend yield. Last night, it reported a strong quarter and dividend increase.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As COVID-19 vaccines roll out around the world, there is the expectation that economies will begin turning back up and energy demand will rise accordingly. DVN has managed to keep debt under control (with none due until after 2025), see positive cash flow over the past 12 months, and devise a dividend strategy that is market responsive. All this because of the quality of assets. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $14, looking to achieve $26 -- upside of 30%. Yield 2.25% (Analysts’ price target is $25.70)
DON'T BUY
This is not a bad name. He sees risk on the asset disposition. The list of buyers for Canadian oil sand properties is not that extensive. If you want US exposure he would go elsewhere.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 12/13. Up 15.11%.) This one should lag in a rising boat environment for energy stocks, but should give you more protection on the downside. Still gives you some attractive value. Debt levels are coming down and they are redeploying cash into both US and Canadian operations. Thinks this could add another 15% this year.
