Just a couple of days ago, one of those Fools, All-Star Staka, weighed Eni's pros and cons for our community:
Positive:
- High yield, low PE, close to book value, European fears have supressed price, fears might be correct but then all stocks go down, at least Eni seems to be a good relative value.
-International diversification especially in Africa will more and more turn into an advantageNegative:
- Very dependent on oil and natural gas prices, which could go down a lot more in a true recession.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Eni may not be your top choice.
