#5 - Chevron (NYSE:CVX)
Chevron Co. (NYSE: CVX) has been one of the big winners among energy in 2022. CVX stock is up a whopping 59% for the year. When you factor in a dividend that currently yields just over 3%, shareholders have had a great run.
Some, however, believe that party and the windfall profits it brought may come to an end for traditional oil and gas companies. Supply and demand will always play a big role in the share prices of oil companies. There is some evidence that demand will wane if the U.S. economy continues to weaken.
Another story continues to emerge for many of the leading names in the “big oil” sector, Chevron included. Many of these companies are already entrenched in the renewable energy space. One area that benefits CVX shareholders in particular has to do with the company’s leadership in the liquefied natural gas space.
As oil costs rise, the United States and the world, particularly Europe, needs natural gas.
