#2 - Chevron (NYSE:CVX)
Energy stocks remain one of the best areas to look for value in this volatile market. That’s a good reason to look at Chevron (NYSE:CVX). Even with the market volatility, CVX stock is up 43% in 2022. Chevron has been a favorite of many MarketBeat analysts. And on the company’s last earnings call it reported a 10% year-over-year increase in domestic oil and gas production.
However, Chevron is more than just a play on high oil and gasoline prices. The company is taking steps to increase its production of liquefied natural gas (LNG). And the company is also looking to invest in other alternative energy projects where it believes it can add value.
The company has increased its dividend for 35 consecutive years. It currently pays out $5.68 on an annual basis which works out to a dividend yield of 3.37%.
