Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Buy Right Now: Devon Energy Corporation(DVN)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matthew DiLallo]
Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) was one of those. While that company's CEO did note on Devon's quarterly conference call that capital expenditures would trend toward the high end of its guidance range, that's because Devon was "completing our plan 2018 program quicker than anticipated." As a result, the company would "most likely accelerate some 2019 program into 2018," even as it stays within its initial budget guidelines. Doing so will enable Devon to grow faster while still generating excess cash at current oil prices, which it's returning to shareholders through a $1 billion stock buyback and 33% dividend increase.

Although gold streaming is something of a niche in the precious metals market, the largest competitors have been in the business since the 1980s, while new entrants are showing up as well (including hedge funds, private equity, and pension funds). Most investors, however, should probably stick with the largest, easiest to trade, and longest-tenured companies for now. Here are the top five.
Company Market Cap Dividend Yield Franco-Nevada (NYSE:FNV) $13 billion 1.3% Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM) $9 billion 1.7% Royal Gold (NASDAQ:RGLD) $6 billion 1.2% Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. $1.6 billion 1.6% Sandstorm Gold Ltd. $800 million N/A Franco-NevadaThe largest streaming company by market cap is Franco-Nevada. As noted above, it has investments in nearly 300 mines, 50 of which are producing. However, it has taken diversification further than its peers by investing in around 80 oil and natural gas assets (57 producing), following the same basic business model. It's not as pure a play on metals, but if you are looking for diversification, that non-precious-metals exposure is an interesting addition to the mix. That said, gold provides roughly 70% of its revenue, with silver at 15%, and oil and gas at just 7% (the rest is, effectively, "other"), meaning that gold is still the big driver of performance here. The company has increased its dividend annually for 10 consecutive years.
