Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool’s free investing community, oil and gas giant Chevron has earned a coveted five-star ranking.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at Chevron and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.

Chevron facts

Headquarters (founded)

San Ramon, Calif. (1879)

Market Cap

$232.4 billion

Industry

Integrated oil and gas

Trailing-12-Month Revenue

$222.6 billion

Management

Chairman/CEO John Watson

CFO Patricia Yarrington

Return on Equity (average, past 3 years)

21.1%

Cash/Debt

$21.9 billion / $12.2 billion

Dividend Yield

3.1%

Competitors

BP

ExxonMobil

ConocoPhillips

Sources: S&P Capital IQ and Motley Fool CAPS.

On CAPS, 96% of the 4,270 members who have rated Chevron believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier today, one of those bulls, rtc76, succinctly summed up the Chevron bull case for our community:

Even if the Lago Agrio judgment ends up wiping out the full $19 billion of book value, it’s still undervalued with a margin of safety if it can maintain a similar cash flow for the next few years. There are enough variables, though, such as difficulty in replacing reserves, the potential for a substantial drop in oil demand due to new supply and less than expected consumption growth in India or China, to warrant a very watchful eye over the next few years.

There are many different ways to play the energy sector, and The Motley Fool’s analysts have uncovered an under-the-radar company that’s dominating its industry. This company is a leading provider of equipment and components used in drilling and production operations, and poised to profit in a big way from it. To get the name and detailed analysis of this company that will prosper for years to come, check out the special free report: “The Only Energy Stock You’ll Ever Need.” Don’t miss out on this limited-time offer and your opportunity to discover this under-the-radar company before the market does.

Why ConocoPhillips Is Poised to Pop

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool’s free investing community, oil and gas giant ConocoPhillips has earned a coveted five-star ranking.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at Conoco and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.

Conoco facts

Headquarters (founded)

Houston (1917)

Market Cap

$71.8 billion

Industry

Integrated oil and gas

Trailing-12-Month Revenue

$60.4 billion

Management

Chairman/CEO Ryan Lance

CFO Jeffrey Sheets

Return on Equity (average, past 3 years)

13.1%

Cash/Debt

$3.6 billion / $25.3 billion

Dividend Yield

4.5%

Competitors

BP

Chevron

ExxonMobil

Sources: S&P Capital IQ and Motley Fool CAPS.

On CAPS, 97% of the 5,774 members who have rated Conoco believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier today, one of those Fools, Googlespooch, brought a few of Conoco’s growth prospects to our community’s attention:

Currently, ConocoPhillips has a number of opportunities that sit in front of it. ConocoPhillips currently has plans to start developing the Chinese oil shale fields in the coming years as part of an agreement to teach shale extraction techniques to the Chinese while, at the same time, producing oil revenues for itself. … Further opportunity lies in ConocoPhillips’ ultra-deepwater drilling capabilities. As the “easy” oil reserves disappear, alternate sources of crude oil must be tapped. … Finally, ConocoPhillips has a huge opportunity in developing floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG). … Currently, only one company has infrastructure under construction, Royal Dutch Shell; however, ConocoPhillips is quickly moving into the preparations for construction of its own facilities as the company hopes to have a FLNG by 2019.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a perfect five-star rating, Conoco may not be your top choice.

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool’s free investing community, integrated oil giant BP has earned a respected four-star ranking.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at BP and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.

On CAPS, 94% of the 5,236 members who have rated BP believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last month, one of those bulls, JohnCLeven, listed three good reasons to look into the opportunity:

1. BP has normalized [return on equity] is about 18%-23%, and it’s selling for 1.5x tangible book value

2. Seth Klarman is a buyer around $40 and BP is now Baupost’s largest position , per gurufocus.

3. A 5.3% dividend yield … WOW!

If you want market-beating returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, BP may not be your top choice.
