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 as a TOP PICK. The new CEO re-committed to deploying capital into the highest returns that play to their strengths. This is after the previous CEO vowed to reduce production annually through 2030. Cash reserves are growing and the company is generating $45 billion in free cash flow annually. It trades at 6x earnings, at book value, and supports a 23% ROE. We continue to recommend a stop-loss at $55, looking to achieve $72 --upside potential of 22%. Yield 1.8%
(Analysts’ price target is $72.40)
