Premium contentWe reiterate SHEL, a global integrated producer of all things energy - including LNG and renewables, as a TOP PICK. Its global presence makes it an excellent candidate during the current geopolitical uncertainty. Recent quarterly earnings showed the company is prudently using some cash reserves to aggressively buy back shares and analysts expect a 40% income boost in the next earnings report. It trades at 15x earnings, 1.4x book and supports a 10% ROE. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $73) to $85, looking to achieve $108 — upside potential of 18%. Yield 1.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $94.91)Premium contentSHEL is a global integrated producer of all things energy - including LNG and renewables. It can make money in high and low oil price environments as it controls the supply chain from wellhead to gas pump. It is nearing an agreement to begin investment in Venezuela following the removal of their president recently. It trades at 15x earnings, 15x book and supports a 10% ROE. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $73, looking to achieve $106 — upside potential over 19%. Yield 3.2%
(Analysts’ price target is $86.17)The technical fundamentals in the oil sector are rising with increasing returns on invested capital. It is at a good valuation and actually very cheap. There are growth catalysts in new fields: the lubricants business, carbon capture, LNG. It has taken almost $4 billion in costs out of the business. It is doing the right things in an out-of-favour sector. Buy 11 Hold 9 Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $83.68)Darren SissonsDemand 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%.
Darren SissonsThey exited the renewables business. Huge share buybacks. Attractive price now and would hold long term.
Darren SissonsHis favourite name in the space. Performed extremely well. Chart is much more attractive than, say, BP. Fundamental and quant measures also point to this name.

Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with SHEL has triggered its stop at $62. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with our previous recommendations, this will result in a net investment gain of 5%.
(A Top Pick Aug 24/22, Up 25%)
Good to add when share price is weak. Will continue to hold shares. Hydrogen business will be good as well. Excellent long term prospects. Strong management team.
Darren SissonsPremium contentPremium contentWith growing cash reserves, a 15% ROE and trading at 1.1x book value, we reiterate SHEL as a TOP PICK. The company is introducing the fastest EV recharging stations at its Singapore stations, using renewable solar sources. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $56) to $57, looking to achieve $72, upside potential of 17%. Yield 1.8%
(Analysts’ price target is $72.23)It didn't fully reflect the expectations in energy. You could still buy it since he expects commodity prices to move higher. It is a really well run company with a good dividend. It is transferring to renewables.

Very strong dividend. Excellent assets with ability for long term growth. Consistent share buyback program excellent for long term investors. Sector currently "out of favor" which is creating opportunity for investors. Would recommend buying, and owns shares.
