Phillips 66: A Reliable Growth And Income Play, But Geopolitical Uncertainty Remains

Summary Phillips 66 has navigated past material risks, such as the DAPL dispute, through strategic diversification. Current volatility, driven by geopolitical uncertainty like the Iranian situation, presents potential entry points for investors seeking value in PSX's diversified margin-driven model. PSX's commitment to an investment-grade credit rating underpins industry outperformance. Position sizing should reflect PSX's volatility; a small or basket approach can offer risk-adjusted, 'sleep well at night' exposure during turbulent periods. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

SLB: Buy The Pullback On This Energy Technology Compounder

Summary SLB N.V. is evolving from legacy oilfield services into digital, AI-enabled workflows and data center infrastructure, driving future growth. Q1 2026 faced Middle East disruptions, with organic revenue down 3% YoY, but ChampionX acquisition and digital/data center segments offset declines. SLB’s forward P/E of 18.6 is below its normal valuation, offering an attractive entry point amid normalization in the Middle East and robust digital/data center momentum. I maintain a ‘Strong Buy’ rating on SLB, citing resilient fundamentals, underappreciated growth levers, a well-covered 2.4% yield, and ongoing share buybacks. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
