#3 - EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG)
EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) - If you could invest in a stock that a Barron’s analyst heralds as “the Apple of oil”, would that get you excited? That's the case with EOG Resources. Two of the reasons that analysts like EOG are that they are a company that is known for having a disciplined use of capital, a strong culture, and technical innovation. All of these factors give the company an excellent opportunity to see a rapidly rising cash return. The company has a proven track record of producing a large after-tax real rate of return on their drilling sites when oil prices are around $50/barrel. One reason for this is the company chooses premium drilling sites, and when oil prices were sagging in 2016, they divested non-premium sites and made strategic acquisitions that, with prices up over 20% in 2018, leaves the company in a strong position. The company has reported four quarters of rising revenue and positive income. The stock currently trades around $130 per share and has been steadily rising above a support level of $100 since April of 2018.
