Stock Market Forecast 2017: Some Upside but More Downside

President-elect Donald Trump has been good for stocks so far, and he hasn’t even taken office yet. The feeling is that Trump and a Republican-led Congress will succeed in cutting taxes, rolling back regulations, repealing Obamacare, and boosting infrastructure spending. And energy is no longer expected to be the drag it has been over the last couple of years.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

Hot Energy Stocks To Buy For 2019: Anadarko Petroleum Corporation(APC)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Last fall, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) outlined its three-year operating plan, anticipating that it could increase production at a 5% compound annual growth rate assuming oil averaged $50 a barrel. While the return to a growth trajectory was nice to see, its forecast paled in comparison to rivals like EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) and Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), which both project double-digit oil production growth rates over the next few years.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    With the mixed signals coming out of OPEC, oil prices could be quite volatile until the organization makes it clear what it intends to do. That could have an effect on financially weaker oil companies that desperately need higher oil prices to provide them with extra cash to firm up their financial foundations. Stronger producers, on the other hand, should continue to do well no matter what OPEC decides since they built their businesses to thrive at much lower oil prices. Three that stand out are ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), and EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG).

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    This transaction follows an earlier one where ConocoPhillips bought Anadarko Petroleum’s (NYSE:APC) 22% interest in the Western North Slope of Alaska as well as its interest in the Alpine pipeline for $400 million in cash. That deal gave ConocoPhillips total control of an asset that wasn’t core to Anadarko’s operations. ConocoPhillips, on the other hand, sees it as a core part of its future due to the promising Willow discovery, which holds an estimated 300 million barrels of oil. The company recently drilled three appraisal wells that further verified the potential of that play as well as three more exploration wells that each made additional discoveries.

    That prediction would have been unfathomable just a few months ago. While some oil bulls thought prices could surprise to the upside,the consensus outlook was that crude would be in the low to mid $50s this year thanks to surging U.S. oil production. Because of that, most producers based their budgets on oil averaging $50 a barrel, includingEOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO), and Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC). In EOG Resources’ case, $50 oil would provide it with the cash flow to pay a dividend that was 10.4% higher than 2017’s level and drill 690 more wells, which would boost oil production about 18%. Meanwhile, Marathon Oil could produce enough cash at that price point to pay its dividend and fund the new wells needed to boost companywide output 12% compared to last year. Anadarko Petroleum, likewise, could fully fund its dividend and a growth-focused capital plan, which would see it boost oil output 14% this year.
