Exxon Mobil (XOM) continues to receive strong endorsements from analysts, highlighting its solid earnings stability and attractive dividend yield of nearly 3%. Experts note that despite current geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the company's fundamentals remain robust, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 15x and a significant presence in the market. With a remarkable 38% increase over the past year and consistent performance, experts express confidence in the stock's growth prospects, particularly with developments in its Guyana production. While some caution against investing in oil stocks due to perceived supply saturation, many believe that XOM is well positioned for future gains, especially as oil prices are expected to rise. The company is also recognized for its share buyback programs and strong capital deployment strategies, reinforcing its position as a leading player in the energy sector.

TOP PICK
They have just announced that they will not cut their dividends. On a global basis, he is adding to his energy exposure. He is staying out of Canada for now since he believes government is not very friendly towards it and will harm the sector. They are sitting on cheap oil in Guyana. Right now pays around a 7% dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $51.52)
DON'T BUY
He would not be a buyer. They are using their balance sheet to pay their dividends. It will probably rise with the sector though. By pursuing to in meeting demands, it is going in the right direction. There are much better names to own in the space.
HOLD
At these levels, energy is extremely depressed. If you have an energy position, hold it. It is good value and there is upside. As the economy continues to grow, demand will grow. Of course, there is the renewable energy story but this will take some time. At these levels, it is an interesting opportunity.
SELL
He has been recommending this stock in the past. He still thinks this is the best managed company out there. It has had numerous negative transits (Sell Signals). He feels we need to hear from them and they need to resize the dividend relative to what they can pay. It is almost yielding 11%. There are multiple sell signals.
DON'T BUY
Looking at the long term history, this has been a destroyer of capital. Long term, energy is not where you want to be.
DON'T BUY

He has been underweighting energy. Chevron would be his pick over Exxon. Right now, energy is facing headwinds right now, especially with people staying at home. He would prefer looking at green energy in North America or Europe.

DON'T BUY

Near-term, he's cautious about the energy sector. XOM has a broad base of assets and pays a high 8% dividend, but is underperforming the S&P. XOM has been struggling as a stock. He prefers a company outperforming peers, such as CNQ. CNQ pays a 6.5% dividend.

WEAK BUY

A play on global oil. The coronavirus has taken out 20% demand because of China, but there will be a bounce-back in oil. Global oil has been a tough slog for the last 5 years. You can probably buy it and collect a nice dividend, but BP has a better payout. Don't expect much capital appreciation.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 08/19, Down 3%) He still likes holding it. It is in his Top 15 US picks. It yields 5%. You get paid to wait and he thinks it will be stable. Their patents on clean tech are number one in the world, he believes.
COMMENT
He can't poke any holes in this. Dividend is okay, but little production growth though that doesn't matter much these days. There's some free cash flow generation. But this faces the same risk as the oil sector. XOM has the same downside as the sector, but XOM offers more upside.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 08/19, Down 4%) This one has ever been cheaper. This is a value/contrarian play. It is one of the best managed companies in the world.
TOP PICK
It is the cheapest it has been since 1995. 5% yield; one of the best companies in the world and at a cheap price. (Analysts’ price target is $78.16)
DON'T BUY
Stay away. Have announced a 230B capital expenditure plan. Plans to grow production over 19 years have not panned out. Bought back a lot of stock and dividends have grown. He'd look to buy an oil company in Canada instead. Or even Encana, where 60% of production is in the States.
TOP PICK
He loves the value it provides. He would wait for a return to the December lows to enter -- around $66. Yield 4.47% (Analysts’ price target is $83.10)
DON'T BUY

Conventional offshore exploration has been very successful for them. If the price of oil backs off it will go back to the low $70s. The question is if they can grow the business. It is flat over 10 years. The success in Guiana is waking the company up, however.
