Barclays' top energy/utilities picks: CAM, VLO, SU, VET, NEE
- Cameron (NYSE:CAM) stands out as Barclays' Top Pick in the energy sector, as the firm highlights "resilient results expected from improved execution and manufacturing flexibility, while also being well positioned for the eventual recoveries in each of its end markets."
- Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO) remains Barclays' favorite name among refiners, due mostly to the new management’s emphasis on growing value for shareholders; Suncor (NYSE:SU) and Vermilion Energy (NYSE:VET) also rank among the firm's favorites.
- Among regulated utilities, NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) is one of the highest quality names, with 5%-7% targeted earnings growth generated from continued investment in its Florida Power & Light regulated entity.
- In precious metals, Royal Gold (NASDAQ:RGLD) is Top Pick; Barclays prefers gold royalty companies over gold producers as they have wider margins and limited exposure to rising operating and capital costs while their diversified portfolios limit political risk, and RGLD is the best of the group.
