Stock price when the opinion was issued
Demand for carbon energy is still there within the broader, increasing demand for all energy. Plus, a place like Canada doesn't have the grid to support EVs the way some other countries can. People want nuclear, but not in their backyards. So what's the alternative?
Buying back shares in significant quantities. You make $$ when you buy, not when you sell. Good value, likes it long term. Dividend is safe. Yield is 3.84%.
We reiterate SHEL, an ideal international diversified energy play, operating in over 70 countries, in everything from wind farms to renewable natural gas as a TOP PICK. It trades at 6x earnings, just over 1x book value, and supports a ROE of 23%. The company is generating great cash flow allowing cash reserves to grow, while aggressively retiring debt and buying back shares. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $52) to $55, looking to achieve $71 -- upside over 19%. Yield 3.4%
(Analysts’ price target is $70.52)
