This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) has shown strong performance over the past five years, delivering a remarkable annualized return of 27%, significantly outpacing the S&P 500's 13%. Analysts maintain a bullish outlook, pointing to ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the US-Iran situation, as a driver for future oil prices, with a target price of $166.35. Despite fluctuations in short-term earnings, Exxon is viewed as a stable investment due to its steady earnings and robust dividend yield, currently near 3%. Experts also highlight internal growth catalysts, especially in regions like Guyana, suggesting that Exxon has multiple avenues for expansion beyond just the oil price. Overall, while there are challenges in the oil market, particularly related to supply and reserves, the sentiment remains optimistic about Exxon’s long-term prospects.

COMMENT
Shale gas in China as well as making an entry in Natural gas in North America. There are plenty of opportunities in Canada for oil/gas plays so he doesn’t own this one
COMMENT
Going for shale gas in China. This is indicative of what the big companies have to do in order to make any dent in their long-term growth in production rates. Also made a major acquisition in the US as well. He prefers Canadian oil/gas companies.
BUY
Good holding. Integrated and making most of money in refining.
BUY
Likes this one. Ranks very well in his growth metrics. Has come down a bit like most other energy stocks because of the price of oil. Beat earnings several quarters in a row. Reasonable yield.
HOLD
He’s positive on oil, which is the commodity to be in right now. Natural gas will be the commodity of the future and this company acquired XTO Energy last year, which vastly increased their presence in the natural gas market.
BUY
Likes it. At these levels it is not overvalued. This was one of those companies that didn’t get caught up in the massive run-up since ‘09. You now have higher oil prices and opportunity for oil companies to start to churn out profits.
BUY
The major in integrated oils. Just made a major acquisition in the natural gas sector, which is a good thing for them. Not the most exciting play in the world but is fairly stable.
COMMENT
Senior company in the oil/gas sector. Have had difficulty finding growth over the last number of years. Would prefer Canadian companies in this sector.
BUY
Exxon Mobile (XOM-N) or Chevron (CVX-N)? Favourably disposed to either but would probably favour this one currently. Exxon recently acquired a natural gas company XTO. Expects differential between oil and natural gas to decrease.
COMMENT
Marvellous stewards of their assets. Not done a bad job of finding oil and gas and has generated reasonable returns for shareholders but integrateds have never made people a lot of money.
HOLD
In the process of acquiring XPO Energy. Probably the largest publicly traded oil company globally. Big oil companies are having a problem finding enough reserves to replace what they are producing. Also, a lot of the countries where they produce are unstable.
BUY
For a large-cap, this is a good choice. Has been very aggressive recently with the purchase of XTO, which gives them exposure to a shale play. Chevron (CVX-N) is another when you could look at.
DON'T BUY
Just made a very big acquisition. Stock is very cheap at 11X earnings. Just below the 200-day moving average, which could be an entry point. He would prefer material more so than energy.
COMMENT
Probably the best managed resource company globally. Tends to focus on cash flow, not production. Prefers Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A-N) because they pay out dividends as opposed to share buyback. One of The most expensive of the companies in this space. He is not bullish on the price of oil from these levels.
TOP PICK
Oil has rallied from $30 to $70 but this stock has not and is actually down about 10%. Very strong balance sheet. A most favoured partner for people like Brazil and China who want an international oil company to help in explorations.
