Shell plc (SHEL-N) has garnered mixed opinions from various experts. While one analyst expresses skepticism about its size and resource management compared to peers like CNQ and Suncor, others highlight its global presence and ability to perform in both high and low oil price environments. A recent buyback initiative and predicted income boost have led some experts to label it a top pick, particularly amidst ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.

WEAK BUY

Has doubled in the past 5 years. He prefers CNQ. Shell is so big that it has to keep buying assets just to stand still. It lacks the resources of CNQ or Suncor. If you think oil prices will stay high for a long time, this will be okay.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We 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)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

SHEL 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)
WATCH

When it comes to energy companies, he prefers the big names like SHEL or XOM.

TOP PICK

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)
TOP PICK

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%.

(Analysts’ price target is $80.65)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 09/24, Up 8.5%)

They exited the renewables business. Huge share buybacks. Attractive price now and would hold long term.

BUY

His 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.

BUY

It's the best oil major that will benefit from the LNG boom in the next decade. Trades at 9x PE and pays a 4% dividend.

TOP PICK

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.
