However, we both agree that in this case nothing compensate enough for low yield (and I still wish for a certain minimum).

Cheers!

I actually agree that COP looks more appealing for the reasons you specified. It’s always an odd feeling to go against what the market feels. The articles I’ve read in SeekingAlpha tend to be really bullish on the company, so me saying that it doesn’t work for me feels slightly wrong. But I trust my gut, and my gut tells me to hold off for now. Same thing with HP. We shall see, and thanks for reading!

I would not buy the company right now either. If I were going to make a play in this industry, I would select COP. Higher yield, lower ratio, payout ratio still below my threshold of 60%. It is not to say that EOG is a bad company, but just based off of my quick review of COP I would most likely lean towards them. But I like your methodology for performing the analysis and how you just stayed away from a company that doesn’t give you a great feeling. It is your money, not theirs; so if you are getting a bad feeling now. RUN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!

Thanks for the great analysis. Maybe we should revisit this company when the dust settles in the industry.

Bert, One of the Dividend Diplomats

Although that normally doesn’t bother me too much, I don’t see enough to compensate me for that low dividend, and that’s a good reason to pass.
