TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly Following its announcement of divesting its 19.75% Russian based Rosneft, we again reiterate BP as a TOP PICK. The company says this will not impact future cash flows and will allow the company to fully benefit from security of supply opportunities. Recently reported earnings beat expectations by 4% with a ROE of 14%. The company continues to pay down debt aggressively and is buying back shares. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio of under 35% of cash flow. We recommend maintaining a stop at $26, looking to achieve $37.50 -- upside potential over 26%. Yield 4.49% (Analysts’ price target is $37.38)
BUY
He saw a buyer of the April 29 expiry for 30 strike calls. He liked that move and added to that.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As oil prices continue to stabilize and the economy edges forward, we again reiterate BP as a TOP PICK. Earnings will be reported next week and consensus calls for $1.19 EPS, compared to $0.53 on a 12-month running average. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 67% of cash flow. It has paid down significant amounts of debt and is buying back shares, while keeping cash reserves relatively steady. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $20) to $26, looking to achieve $37.50 -- upside potential over 17%. Yield 4.06% (Analysts’ price target is $37.21)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate our TOP PICK recommendation with BP. As oil prices continue to stabilize and the economy edges forward, this is a good value entry point. It trades at 10x earnings, compared to peers at 14x and is presently valued right near book value. It is paying a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. It has paid down over $11 billion in debt, while keeping cash reserves relatively steady. We would buy this with a stop loss at $20, looking to achieve $35 -- upside potential over 32%. Yield 4.85% (Analysts’ price target is $34.69)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Had issues with Deep Horizon in the Gulf and took impairments and write downs over the years. Now long in BP in funds. Cheaper of the peers. Good name to own. Exposure to the British pound as well which has some upsides.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With Brent oil prices back over $70, the future of oil looks brighter -- especially as the global economy continues to re-open. Shares are trading at 1.1x book value, with a PEG ratio of under 0.6 (good value relative to growth potential). It pays a great dividend, backed by a payout ratio of 45% of cash flow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $20, looking to achieve $32 -- upside potential over 14% (although with such a good yield, we might just trailing up the stop). Yield 4.67% (Analysts’ price target is $31.57)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 11/19, Down 38%) The stock has recovered. It has proven to be so volatile. He is lightening up on his energy exposure. You may want to hold it for another year or two to get into a more normalized environment.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 07/19, Down 45%) BP will be profitable this year because of its downstream operations. They're also cutting edge with their renewable energy division. The dividend will be safe for 12 months, but Brent oil will eventually need to rise for the dividend to survive longer.
DON'T BUY

A super major energy company. Their growth and capital allocation don't make this compelling at all. EOG-N is much better and will snap back better after this oil sell-down.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 27/18, Up 3%) Oil prices continue to struggle, but BP pays a big, safe dividend. They generate great return on capital even at current oil prices. They also run fuel stations in Europe and sell natural gas products, not just oil. They're a leader in using data to make equipment use efficient.
TOP PICK
Their business is optimized at below-$50/barrel oil while energy prices are slowing creeping higher. Safe dividend over 5% and there's growth ahead. (Analysts’ price target is $50.32)
TOP PICK
Huge cash flow. They made a big acquisiton of BHP in 2018 and their timing was impeccable. Pays a 5.5% yield that'll grow. They're a big investor in renewables. A cheap stock at 11x earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $50.32)
