OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company picked up another $368 million worth of Occidental Petroleum stock this week to give it control of nearly 21% of the oil producer. These are the first purchases Berkshire Hathaway has made since regulators gave it approval last month to buy up to 50% of Occidental, but since February Buffett has been consistently buying shares of the Houston-based company any time they drop below $60 apiece. Berkshire’s Occidental stake is now worth nearly $12 billion after its shares nearly doubled this year after Russia invaded Ukraine and oil prices soared. Occidental’s shares gained nearly 2% Thursday to sell for $62.39 after Berkshire disclosed its latest purchases in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Buffett’s Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate has bet heavily on the oil sector this year. Besides its Occidental purchases, Berkshire bought roughly $20 billion worth of Chevron shares. Berkshire’s Occidental purchases have inspired speculation that Buffett might try to buy the entire company, but Buffett doesn’t generally comment on Berkshire’s stock purchases beyond what it is required to disclose.

There are several large-cap stocks with dividend growth potential even as broad market conditions remain challenging. In general, large-cap stocks are ignored by investors in a bull market. However, funds flow into large-cap stocks once market sentiment turns bearish. The reason is that large-cap companies have earnings and cash flow stability. With the market correction, several large-cap stocks are also trading at an attractive valuation. Besides sustained dividend growth, I would expect healthy capital gains from these large-cap stocks. My focus is primarily on large-cap companies that are relatively immune to economic shocks. The cash flows, therefore, remain robust and provide headroom for dividend growth. There are cyclical businesses with an investment-grade balance sheet that continue to increase shareholder returns even during challenging times. Let’s talk about seven large-cap stocks with dividend growth potential.

Safety should be your first thought if you are looking at the energy sector today, and these two income stalwarts are top names to consider.
In the 2020s, investors are torn between two schools of thought. On one side are your parents and grandparents, who did just fine over the years investing in classic energy companies like Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY). On the other hand, new energy firms like Tesla (TSLA), Plug Power (PLUG), and First Solar (FSLR) are grabbing the headlines and capturing the attention of younger traders. Picking between fossil fuel drillers and clean fuel businesses isn''t a political decision, but a practical one.

Viewing the framework of big oil stocks from hundreds of miles above, the surrounding circumstances don’t necessarily provide encouragement for investors. With monetary policy likely to tighten in the months and perhaps years ahead, commodity prices may fall as the dollar gains strength. However, overriding economic and geopolitical factors may represent the ultimate arbiters. I am bullish on Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and Shell (NYSE:SHEL) – the main focus of this article. Few market segments incurred the wild gyrations of big oil stocks since 2020. Back in April 2020, oil prices briefly, but in an unprecedented fashion, dropped below zero.

There are some important factors that make Phillips 66 the better investment right now.
It’s been a banner year for energy stocks. With oil prices cresting above $120 a barrel and continuing to trade in a range between $85 and $105, energy companies are reaping record profits and issuing incredible earnings. Many energy companies have announced net income that is up more than 3,000% from year-earlier levels. It all amounts to a windfall for an industry that was decimated during the pandemic when oil prices finished 2020 below $50 per barrel. The strong earnings have led to outperformance among energy stocks this year, with many share prices up 25%, 50%, even 100%. Oil stocks have been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal year for equities. While some analysts continue to debate whether oil prices have peaked, the consensus view is that the earnings of oil companies will remain strong through the remainder of this year. With that in mind, here are seven energy stocks primed for a Q3 earnings gusher. XOM ExxonMobil $90.95 OXY Occidental Petroleum $62.68 CVX Chevron $155.01 DVN Devon Energy $64.48 PXD Pioneer Natural Resources $228.00 KMI Kinder Morgan $17.52 MRO Marathon Oil $25.18 ExxonMobil (XOM) Source: Michael Gordon / Shutterstock.com For this year’s second quarter, ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) reported that its revenues rose 69% year-over-year to $111.99 billion.
This may be your best chance to find Dow stocks to buy on the dip, although that might not seem intuitive given the current market climate. Still, if you have a long time horizon and a reasonable risk outlook, this may be the time to not only stay in equities but to make opportunistic buys. Historically, the market has an upward bias, but the market doesn’t announce when it hits a bottom. The Dow is seen as a barometer for the broader economy, and since every component of the index pays a dividend, owning one or more of the Dow stocks can help smooth out the current market volatility. Furthermore, some of these Dow stocks to buy on the dip are beginning to reach more attractive valuations which means they will likely have significant upside when the market does reverse course.

Escobar: ''Samarkand Spirit'' To Be Driven By "Responsible Powers" Russia & China Authored by Pepe Escobar, The SCO summit of Asian power players delineated a road map for strengthening the multipolar world… Amidst serious tremors in the world of geopolitics, it is so fitting that this year’s Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) heads of state summit should have taken place in Samarkand – the ultimate Silk Road crossroads for 2,500 years. When in 329 BC Alexander the Great reached the then Sogdian city of Marakanda, part of the Achaemenid empire, he was stunned: “Everything I have heard about Samarkand it’s true, except it is even more beautiful than I had imagined.” Fast forward to an Op-Ed by Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev published ahead of the SCO summit, where he stresses how Samarkand now “can become a platform that is able to unite and reconcile states with various foreign policy priorities.” After all, historically, the world from the point of view of the Silk Road landmark has always been “perceived as one and indivisible, not divided.

PARIS: Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz says the world’s energy giants should pay a special tax on their massive profits. To him, the companies “didn’t do anything to deserve” the windfall. Oil and gas firms have raked in huge profits this year as energy prices have surged over supply fears after Russia, a major producer of the fossil fuels, invaded Ukraine in late February. “Sometimes we have this discussion: Are profits exploitation or are profits the just deserts of having invested more, putting out more effort,” Stiglitz said in an interview with AFP in Paris. “This is a particular case where there is no debate,” the 2001 Nobel winner said. “It is very clear that the oil companies didn’t do anything to deserve the high oil prices. It was (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine that was at the source of the problem,” Stiglitz said. The main international oil contract reached almost $140 per barrel in March, though it has since fallen under $100. Gas prices jumped to a record 345 euros per megawatt hours that same month.
Fury as ‘explosive’ files reveal largest oil companies contradicted public statements and wished bedbugs upon critical activists Criticism in the US of the oil industry’s obfuscation over the climate crisis is intensifying after internal documents showed companies attempted to distance themselves from agreed climate goals, admitted “gaslighting” the public over purported efforts to go green, and even wished critical activists be infested by bedbugs. The communications were unveiled as part of a congressional hearing held in Washington DC, where an investigation into the role of fossil fuels in driving the climate crisis produced documents obtained from the oil giants ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell and BP.

Equities in Canada’s largest centre tracked losses in energy and material companies as aggressive monetary tightening by central banks raises prospects of a global recession. The TSX Composite retreated 112.37 points to move into noon hour Thursday at 19,613.77. The Canadian dollar fell 0.26 cents to 75.72 cents. Gold stocks weighed most heavily, as Wesdome Gold Mines dropped 35 cents, or 4.1%, to $8.21. Equinox Gold fell 22 cents, or 4.7%, to $4.42. In energy stocks, Crescent Point Energy dived 31 cents, or 3.2%, to $9.29, while Baytex Energy lost 25 cents, or 3.7%, to $6.54. Communications provided one of the few bright spots, as Rogers soared 68 cents, or 1.3%, to $54.74, while Quebecor gained 30 cents, or 1.1%, to $27.04. On the economic front, Statistics Canada said Canadian auto sales were down 16.2% in July to 130,480 units.

Energy shares have pared their gains in September as oil prices have cooled down. The price of Brent crude is now below $94 per barrel . Yet in early March, it had surged over $130 .Given the decline of oil prices, investors should identify a number of oil stocks to sell. The global oil market is likely to continue to be turbulent throughout the year. Investors’ fears of a global economic decline and the ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns in China — the top importer of crude oil — could be weighing on petroleum prices. Oil traders are also factoring in the negative economic impact of higher interest rates. On the other side of the equation are positive catalysts for oil prices. According to the recent short-term energy outlook of the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), “the possibility of petroleum supply disruptions and slower-than-expected crude oil production growth continues to create the potential for higher oil prices.” Put another way, investors should expect more choppiness in energy prices for the rest of 2022.
