Chevron Texaco (CVX-N)

Plans to invest in clean energy, a great opportunity. People think of it as an O&G giant, but has been investing a lot in clean energy. Stock's moved sideways for 12 months, so a good opportunity. Acquired major stake in world's largest proposed storage facility for hydrogen, which she sees as a big play over 5 years. Great yield of 4.5%.

Doesn't own, on her watchlist, looking for an entry point. Ranks 10/10 on fundamentals, good margins, great earnings growth and cashflow. Target of $178.

Recently reported and the market didn't like it in a mixed quarter. Current weak oil prices don't help either. Trades under 12x PE, but pays a 4.5%. dividend. Are trying to buy Hess-not sure how this will turn out.

Oil prices have done well, but it's a least-loved rally. The oil companies haven't done that well. CVX is held down by their purchase of Hess. The market was split on this, though he thinks it helps CVX long term. At some point, energy will do well. Timing is key in stock-buying. Stay with CVX.

Buy shares. Expecting a $200 share price. 

Never argue against Warren Buffett. Oil's had a massive rally, and these stocks tend to move up and down with commodity prices. Oil might go lower if economy continues to slow down. He'd have trouble jumping in here.

He just trimmed it on oil's move upward. 

It reports Friday. Will they take advantage of higher oil prices due to the war premium (Middle East conflicts)? They should.

Oil prices are higher mostly on fundamentals, but also on geopolitical tensions and some manipulation of supply by the usual suspects. Fortress balance sheet. Payout ratio only 43-44%. Great income stock. Ignore short-term noise on Hess acquisition. BRK has a very large holding in CVX, and they don't do anything lightly. Yield is 4.1%.

Oil has been choppy. Turmoil with purchase of Hess, though he likes the opportunity longer term. Tussle with XOM. Pristine balance sheet, very little debt, great dividend. Will do well with oil, profitable, just be patient.

Recent M&A not good for investors. Does not own shares in company. Disappointment on capital allocation in company. Would look elsewhere for energy sector investors. 

Earnings haven't been great and the PE has declined. Tough comps face energy stocks going into 2024. But M&A will be accretive to the major energy names. Don't buy an energy ETF, but choose energy names.

She sold Chevron to buy more SLB, which is the #1 player in oil field services. Traeds at 17x forward PE. They raised guidance three times this year, yet shares haven't moved. Their technology is not appreciation.

Took profits to rotate into sectors with higher beta. Oil stocks have come off with price of oil. Chart's been sideways, earnings disappointment. Longer term, likes the energy space with demand moving higher and supply cuts. 7.5% free cashflow yield, 4.2% dividend yield. He'd consider adding back into the portfolio.

Is skeptical that them buying Hess will double their free cash flow by 2027, but not without risk. Earnings were okay, 8.5% better than last quarter but lower than a year ago. Had owned this 11 years, but would buy on a pullback. The dividend is secure and growing.
