Devon Energy trades at 11x earnings and a 12% free-cash-flow yield while set to return roughly 10% of its market cap to shareholders each year. The Coterra merger adds 4,600 Delaware drilling locations, half with sub-$40 breakevens, and $1B of annual synergies on top of an $850M cost program that is 85% done; per-barrel operating costs fell every quarter of 2025. While Big Tech's capex ratios climb toward utility levels, Devon beats production guidance while spending less. x.com
Devon Energy trades at 11x earnings with about a 12% free cash flow yield, 25% cheaper than its peers, despite strong execution the market hasn't noticed. In 2025 it beat its own production forecasts while spending $460M less capital than budgeted and cut per-barrel costs every quarter. Its merger with Coterra adds $1B in synergies, a $5B buyback and a pro forma dividend yield nearly three times the S&P 500's. x.com
Occidental Petroleum is mispriced at about 8.4x trailing earnings and an 8.7% free cash flow yield during an oil shock. Eight times earnings in an oil shock is not a valuation but a clerical error with a ticker symbol. Iran cannot beat the US Navy, so it is waiting out America's vote in 49 days, since Iran does not vote until 2028; owning Occidental beats hiding in Treasuries. x.com
Canadian Natural Resources' slowly declining oil and gas reserves will last many years and give it very steady production. It generates a lot of cash even when markets are tough, has raised its dividend for 26 years in a row, and plans to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. x.com
With the 10-year Treasury yield touching 5%, cash generation and price strength matter more, favoring developed-market large caps that pair the highest free-cash-flow yields with strong momentum. General Motors leads with an 18.8% FCF yield, followed by BP at 13.6%, Marathon Petroleum at 11.6% with a top momentum score of 100, DHL at 11.4% and Shell at 11.3%. Verizon, AT&T, Suncor, Valero and Equinor complete the list with yields of 8.9% to 10.1% and momentum scores from 80 to 100. x.com
EQT, Range Resources, Expand Energy, Magnolia Oil & Gas and EOG Resources are cyclicals catching an earnings tailwind before the crowd notices, the setup Peter Lynch loved. They passed a screen alongside Coterra, all natural gas or oil producers with disciplined balance sheets and forward P/Es of 9-12. x.com
Cross Timbers Royalty Trust converts incremental royalty revenue disproportionately into distributable income, and its market cap may not reflect the latent value of its 90% net profits interests. These span the Permian, Anadarko and San Juan Basins, with recent horizontal permitting and development, and burden Texas Sand Hills properties next to another prolific producer. SoftVest Advisors' ~16% stake could unlock value, though the thesis, co-authored with @athelascapital, stands without it. … Show more
Oil majors such as Shell, BP, ExxonMobil and Chevron deserve their multiples because they have consistently generated 10%+ returns across complete energy cycles. They are integrated, now diversified, and control a key commodity for decades ahead. Investors will do fine if they hold for the long term. x.com
Transocean looks compelling because offshore drillers trade like distressed cyclicals even as they add backlog. It sits near 0.93x book and 1.8x sales, with generalists scarred by 2020-21 bankruptcies, yet it has added about $1.6B of backlog since April, with recent day rates near $550k. Management guides utilization above 90% by late 2026, near 100% in 2027, and approval of the Valaris merger could re-rate it. Oil is the key risk: WTI below about $60 would bring capex cuts. x.com
TotalEnergies' robust cash flow funds rising shareholder returns: it raised its first 2026 interim dividend 5.9% to €0.90, the top dividend growth among major European and US oil companies, alongside a 4.3-5% yield and buybacks. Q1 LNG profit hit $1.3B on 12% higher volumes, and resumed Mozambique LNG construction should drive future earnings. High oil prices help, and Morgan Stanley and others see AI data-center power demand as a structural tailwind for its integrated power business. x.com
Occidental Petroleum looks cheap against its sales, trading 32% below the low end of a $88.24-$112.30 fair-value range set at about 5 times mid-cycle sales. It carries a PEG of 0.87 and a forward P/E of 15.7x, and would only look expensive above $105.52. These are valuation levels from reported earnings and revenue estimates, not fundamental work. x.com
Texas Pacific Land, Canadian Natural Resources and GTT stand out in energy because they have real competitive advantages in a sector of commodity price-takers. Texas Pacific Land owns land and collects royalties at 90%+ margins with almost no costs. Canadian Natural has decades of reserves and the industry's lowest decline rates, so it can generate cash even when oil prices tank. GTT is a true tech monopoly with 90% of its market: anyone moving LNG by sea pays it. x.com
