1. Chevron
Chevron (NYSE: ) is one of the world’s largest energy companies.
Chevron Stock Price Chart
Its shares fell in 2023 because 2 of its largest oilfields suffered production shortfalls, and investors found the deal whereby Chevron paid $60 billion to buy Hess (NYSE: ) expensive.
Its stock is cheap and trades at 10.8 times projected 2024 earnings. In addition, it intends to repurchase $20 billion in shares annually.
Thus, it trades at a 15% discount to its average cash flow multiple and should have a total return (dividends + buybacks) of around +12% after the Hess deal closes.
Its dividend yield is +4.04%.

3. Hertz Global
The market didn’t like Hertz’s (NASDAQ: ) big bet on electric vehicles (11% of its fleet) and it backfired, as the company is earning less than estimated.
Hertz Global Stock Price Chart
But the car rental sector is 90% controlled by Enterprise, Avis, and Hertz, and even with earnings estimates cut, Hertz trades at a low price with 8.6 projected earnings by 2024. It trades at a very attractive price for patient investors.
The company does not distribute a dividend.
It reports its quarterly results on February 26 and is expected to increase its actual revenue by +4.15% and by 2024 by +4%.

Madison Square Garden Sports Price Chart
According to Sportico estimates, the Knicks and Rangers are worth $7.4 billion and $2.45 billion, respectively. But the company’s current market value of just $4.2 billion, plus about $300 million in net debt, is worth about half that.

The impact of weight-loss drugs on PepsiCo (NASDAQ: ) snack and beverage franchise will likely be minimal.

Although it is named after a soft drink, Pepsi has the best snack franchise and generates more than half of the company’s profits, making Pepsi less dependent on sugary soft drinks than Coca-Cola (NYSE: ).
Its shares trade at 20.7 times projected 2024 earnings, below its five-year average.
Its dividend yield is +3%.
