"Oil Rally Signals Promising Future for Energy Stocks"

Higher oil prices are expected to benefit oil companies, leading to increased free cash flow and potential returns for investors. Chevron's stock has lagged behind Exxon's due to concerns about its acquisition of Hess, making it a potentially attractive investment with its relatively cheap stock and 4.1% dividend yield. Devon Energy's flexible dividend policy allows for larger dividends as oil prices rise, supported by the company's financial strength and commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Diamondback Energy, with its strong position in the Permian Basin, is set to generate significant free cash flow as oil prices increase, potentially leading to strong total returns for investors.
