Winston Score History

The full picture

Devon Energy is an American oil and natural gas company. It finds oil and gas underground, pulls it out, and sells it to refiners, utilities, and other energy companies. Devon operates entirely in the United States, with its most important fields located in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico, as well as Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Montana.

Devon makes money by selling the oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids it produces. Revenue rises and falls with commodity prices, which Devon does not control. The company is a mid-to-large independent producer with a market cap around $29 billion, and it competes on cost efficiency rather than unique technology. Devon uses a "fixed-plus-variable" dividend model, paying shareholders more when oil prices are high and less when they fall. The biggest risk the business faces is a sustained drop in oil and gas prices, which would directly shrink revenue, profits, and the variable portion of its dividend.
