Top Independents Operators Oil Stocks to Buy in 2019
Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Apache Corp (symbol: APA-N) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, indicating a level of skepticism regarding its current investment appeal. One expert characterized Apache as a speculative buy but suggested a preference for Schlumberger (SLB), which positions itself as more favorable due to the rising demand for drilling services. This perspective highlights a broader strategy focused on picking 'picks and shovels' rather than direct investments in oil production companies. As drilling activities ramp up, the emphasis on ancillary service providers indicates a shift in investor sentiment towards companies that support the oil and gas sector rather than those directly involved in extraction. Overall, while there is some potential seen in Apache, the inclination towards alternatives suggests caution among analysts, pointing to better opportunities elsewhere in the market.

SELL

Was a spec buy. He'd rather buy SLB, because with more drilling, he wants to be in the picks and shovels.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 18/16. Down 8.31%.) He sold this and got about 5.5% from it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 18/16. Down 2%.) Got out of all his pure energy plays last October. He is just now starting to raise his energy component, and this would be a good one now.

BUY

The chart looks to have a really long double bottom pattern. The chart shows a nice up trend from February with some pretty big swings. You have to have some fortitude and you want to be with the best group. You have to be prepared for some volatility. He would be pretty comfortable buying this today, but you have to be ready as oil can change around.

TOP PICK

The company is working on being really nice and lean. They divested some holdings that they didn’t want and are going to be looking to acquire other companies.

COMMENT

They decided they would not go forward with the LNG project. They are looking to spin out that project. Depending on what happens with LNG tax in BC, there could be value there.

TOP PICK

His model price is $117.68, a 46.5% upside. An opportunity to buy this at book value.

DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Natural gas. In the long term he likes it but in the short term he would avoid.
TOP PICK
Likes the energy area. Expects more exploration and drilling. Trading at around 13 X earnings. Well poised to take advantage of some activity.
TOP PICK
Low-price earnings multiple oil and gas. Haven't raised dividends very often so expect something here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A past top pick Oct 16/03. Up 14%.) Commodity prices are fairly high, so don't expect much of an upside from this point. Would consider taking some money off the table. Fairly fully valued.
TOP PICK
Extremely good operator. High impact properties coming on. Sees a lot of upside because of this. Likes the diversified international story and the oil focus.
TOP PICK
Has lagged the group. Even mix of gas and oil. Has some high impact products. Has a nice international base.
WEAK BUY
A reasonable hold, but prefers Encana.
BUY
Best energy company in the uS. Nice mix between oil and gas. Good management.
