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.

COMMENT

There is a trading range, somewhere between $50 and $60. It is currently near the top of its trading range. If it broke up through $61, he would be all over it.

TOP PICK

Known as a gas name but they are moving more towards liquids and oils so it gives a bit of a mix on the commodity side. Management has seen that their stock has underperformed their peers and are looking at all initiatives to unlock value within Devon.

DON'T BUY

When he looks at commodities, one of the things he insists upon is not sacrificing the role that dividends pay in long-term rates of return. This is the kind of company that has an alright but not great asset base, alright but not great balance sheet and a so-so dividend yield of about 1.25%. Outlook for oil and natural gas prices is pretty mediocre in this environment.

HOLD

Fine company with great assets and exploration interests. Could be a takeout candidate. (With US stocks, a 10% loss on currency would mean you should have a 25% gain on the stock.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 8/07. Up 50%.) Gas weighted. Really good reserve growth. Best Reserves in the US. Still going higher.

TOP PICK

Gas weighted. Have the best reserves and the best production growth. The big focus is on the Barnett Shale, which is the most prolific region in the US.

TOP PICK

In probably the most prolific play in the US, a region near the Fort Worth area. Have the best record of adding to their reserves as well as the best quality reserves.

BUY

US energy stocks get no respect. He has a model price of $80.80 which is a 32% positive differential. Big earnings going on their balance sheet.

BUY

A terrific company. Has great natural gas reserves. It's at an attractive price right now. A better buy now than it has been for a couple of years.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't follow this one closey, but feels they have done a pretty good job. Have taken their resource exposure, including energy, down.
