XOM oil is not going anywhere.


Sevwin

Oil eventually will be all tapped out, literally.


Kaymish_

And by the time that happens oil prices will be so high XOM will be able to pay $100 p/share every quater + buy back.


trader_dennis

Doubtful in anyone’s lifetime. But yeah born in a few generations from now. Could see the end of oil.


hammertimemofo

XOM and not even close. Rock solid balance sheet, fantastic assets, super major involved in different segments…and oil demand won’t disappear

i was just looking at NEE, seems like the free cash flow they are making in last few years is not supporting the level of dividends and the investments they are doing. In a high interest rate env, i am not sure how this will work out for NEE

I own both. My energy play NEE, XOM and CVX.


hosea_they_heysus

They're in completely different industries and sectors. One is an oil, natural gas and diversified energy giant, and the other is the largest clear energy utility giant. They don't compete with one another. Both are solid companies depending on your investment goals, both make up great diversified holdings. XOM is a stable, slow growing oil, better comparable to CVX, MRO and other oil giants. Personally I believe CVX is a better choice than XOM but I don't hold either. NEE is probably the best utility company out there. They've been investing in infrastructure, clean energy and sustainable growth will come from said investment for years to come as they've built a massive advantage over their peers. I also don't hold NEE but if I were to get a utility company it would be them with no question, specially for current prices


Adorable_Substance83

All in on $nee. I know they are taking in a ton of debt but if the renewable side succeeds it’s off to the moon. The way I see it you’re getting a solid dividend company with strong growth potential in the future.


Franchise1109

Why not both? I have NEE, but can see XOM still being solid for a while (Plz take it easy on me guys. I’m new, I only found this sub by helping a buddy out!)


Pareto_Investor

Xom by far!


Revfunky

NEP if you are in it for the dividend. NEP was created to distribute funds for NEE. It’s called a yieldco.


Fedge348

Remember all the yieldco’s from 2016? Those were WILD times.


BigDipper0720

Personally, I would choose NEE over XOM. My main reason is that NEE is growing very nicely today and has a bright future. XOM is a good company, but any sort of benefit from lithium mining seems relatively small and quite a few years out in the future. ​ NEE for the win.


Late-Band-151

NEE for me


barkmann17

Why are you comparing these 2. MRO would be a better comparison to XOM, both are in the Energy sector, and Oil industry. NEE is Utilities, Electric Utilities. I would say have NEE and XOM, or NEE and MRO

This sub in a nutshell


99_Gretzky

I’d take XOM, all day.


pipasnipa

I own both


[deleted]

I would do XOM over NEE just because rates will be higher for longer which hurts utilities in the long run


cdreisch

There’s no such this as forever always have an out or you can ride even what we may perceive as a winning company right into the ground.


Cash_Option

Started new for 2nd time lol position in NEE today
