This year so far, oil and natural gas prices have gone nuts. American oil producers have finally got religion by no longer endlessly drilling, but by returning capital to shareholders. Devon pays a huge variable dividend.

They're returning capital to shareholders rather than wasting their money on endless drilling. They're now paying a variable dividend, which means very high yields given the high price of oil, though slightly down from its high.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As COVID-19 vaccines roll out around the world, there is the expectation that economies will begin turning back up and energy demand will rise accordingly. DVN has managed to keep debt under control (with none due until after 2025), see positive cash flow over the past 12 months, and devise a dividend strategy that is market responsive. All this because of the quality of assets. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $14, looking to achieve $26 -- upside of 30%. Yield 2.25% (Analysts’ price target is $25.70)

DON'T BUY

This is not a bad name. He sees risk on the asset disposition. The list of buyers for Canadian oil sand properties is not that extensive. If you want US exposure he would go elsewhere.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 12/13. Up 15.11%.) This one should lag in a rising boat environment for energy stocks, but should give you more protection on the downside. Still gives you some attractive value. Debt levels are coming down and they are redeploying cash into both US and Canadian operations. Thinks this could add another 15% this year.

COMMENT

There is a trading range, somewhere between $50 and $60. It is currently near the top of its trading range. If it broke up through $61, he would be all over it.

TOP PICK

Known as a gas name but they are moving more towards liquids and oils so it gives a bit of a mix on the commodity side. Management has seen that their stock has underperformed their peers and are looking at all initiatives to unlock value within Devon.
