Why this portfolio manager favors ExxonMobil over First Solar

#exxonmobil #firstsolar #yahoofinance
Today's segment of Good Buy or Goodbye features host Julie Hyman alongside Hennessy Energy Transition Portfolio Manager Fund Ben Cook. Together, they explore Cook's top stock pick and top stock to avoid within the energy sector.
Cook highlights ExxonMobil (XOM) as his top stock pick for investors, citing several key factors. He praises the company's integrated business model, stating it "affords flexibility to generate consistent financial results through the cycle." Cook also notes ExxonMobil's success in creating growth opportunities "through acquisitions and through the drill business." Furthermore, he describes the company as "best in the business" at returning capital to shareholders, emphasizing the attractive "cash return profile."
Conversely, Cook advises investors to steer clear of First Solar (FSLR), pointing out several risk factors. He notes that the company's revenue generation heavily depends on "protective policy measures," which are subject to change with different presidential administrations. Cook also highlights the challenges of the energy transition, noting its "uneven pace" with reliability and cost being primary concerns. Lastly, he mentions that First Solar has been negatively impacted by the high interest rate environment.
