☆ ExxonMobil, Chevron's big cash shows cheap gas isn’t coming back
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Big oil sees political pushback on buybacksFuel prices at a Chevron gas station in Menlo Park, California, on Thursday, June 9, 2022. In the market, and at the oil companies headquarters, it seems the opinions issued from the White House aren't much of a factor in setting financial priorities. The benchmark now is to spend roughly a third of operating cash flow on capital investment, a third on dividends and a third on stock buybacks. Exxon made $76.8 billion in operating cash flow, invested $18 billion back into the business, spent $14.9 billion on dividends and $15.2 billion in stock purchases, according to its cash flow statement. Oil production is increasing
☆ The EV industry is getting its first recession stress test. Will it be a bust?
  + stars: | 2023-01-14 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
As electric-car stocks plummeted in late 2022, the rout evoked comparisons to the dot-com stock bust two decades ago. But optimists like Wedbush analyst Dan Ives think it's the right, aggressive move to jumpstart the EV transition amid macro uncertainty. "There's no stress test for a severe recession for an industry that's in its infancy." The outlook from China, home to more than half of the world's EV sales, according to Clean Technica, is at least as murky. Tesla's 2023 world is like Amazon and eBay's 2000A recession, if it happens, doesn't necessarily mean EV sales will fall.
☆ The market's most political stock picks had a bad year, but they'll be back in 2023

Analysts who follow the industry say ESG funds' performance has been held back, most clearly, by the fact that many sustainable or ESG funds avoid companies that make fossil fuels. The average large-cap stock ESG fund had lost nearly 20% in 2022 through Dec. 21, according to Morningstar. Morningstar energy strategist Stephen Ellis thinks that's unlikely, since "we see the stocks as fairly valued to expensive," particularly in the oil part of the petroleum business. ETF – which emphasizes gambling and alcohol along with pharmaceuticals, without major holdings in oil and gas – is down 18%. ESG fund flows in Europe have held up much better than in the U.S, which Morningstar's Stankiewicz says is because of more pro-ESG regulations.
☆ How a GOP-controlled House will attack ESG and corporate climate change strategy

"I don't think that's a proper characterization of my view," McHenry said in an interview with CNBC Senior Congressional Correspondent Ylan Mui. What I think corporations should do is focus on their key knitting," he said. Vanguard Group also had been scheduled to testify, but after the fund giant abandoned an investment industry climate alliance, that changed. McHenry, rated as one of the most moderate House Republicans by non-profit GovTrack US, doesn't seem interested in the state approach. "It plays politics with corporations, in the name of having corporations not play politics."
☆ Rooftop solar: How homeowners should do the math on the climate change investment

Central to the deal: Tax credits and other benefits from both the state of Connecticut and from Washington, D.C., he says. Hurwitz's experience points up one benefit of the Inflation Reduction Act that passed in August: Its extension and expansion of tax credits to promote the spread of home-based solar power systems. California's solar energy net metering decision Certainty has been the thing that's hard to come by in solar, where frequent policy changes make the market a "solar coaster," as one industry executive put it. watch nowFor potential switchers, tax credits can quickly recover part of the up-front cost of going green. The bids for one suburban Chicago house ranged as low as $19,096 after the federal credit and as high as $30,676.
☆ The Fed may wreck one of the greatest booms in history of Main Street America
  + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
As interest rates rise, inflation lingers and home equity that many business founders use to get started shrinks, small business formations are doing something unexpected – they're rising. If the data persists, the resilience in small business formation points to a "new plateau" of activity that may add millions of jobs to the economy, Haltiwanger says. But the risks include the Fed itself choking off financial conditions so much that the small business boom is smothered. Danny Sweis opened his in the summer of 2022. If that lasts, that means 4 million per year, offset by 2.5 million lost as other small businesses close.
☆ The big new Exxon Mobil climate change deal that got an assist from Joe Biden
  + stars: | 2022-11-19 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
The law may help oil companies like ExxonMobil build profitable businesses to replace some of the revenue and profit they'll lose as EVs proliferate. Maybe, if carbon capture and storage is indeed as big a deal as ExxonMobil's first-of-its-kind deal to extract, transport and store carbon from other companies' factories implies. Could it be that Big Oil's next big thing got a big assist from Joe Biden? An industrial facility on the Houston Ship Channel where Exxon Mobil is proposing a carbon capture and sequestration network. And big oil and gas companies are where the expertise is."
☆ Why technology spending will rise even as tech stocks tank and layoffs mount
  + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
The path of tech demand has been one of the key questions as markets try to handicap the odds of a 2023 recession. "CEOs and CFOs have no intention of cutting tech spending," said Gartner chief forecaster John-David Lovelock. On the bright side, the GDP report painted a picture of fairly strong technology demand, said Bank of America Merrill Lynch economist Michael Gapen. The shortfall in investment spending was driven by a sharp decline in residential investment, he said. In percentage terms, cloud spending will rise by about 20 percent for the next two to three years, according to Gartner's forecast.
☆ How United Airlines expects electric planes to change the way passengers make travel decisions
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +10 min
As electric cars and SUVs move toward 5% of the new-car market in the U.S. and 9% globally, few airlines have made any major push toward electric planes. Sustainability plans being pursued by American Airlines , Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines barely mention electric planes. "Go back to the 1990s, there were hundreds of small aircraft serving a lot of communities that have now lost service." "There are literally dozens of companies that wouldn't have worked that are now viable startups that you'll hear about United Airlines and United Ventures investing in in the coming months." Most likely, electric planes will serve small markets, hydrogen-powered planes will serve medium-sized passenger loads, and SAF-powered jet engines will serve major cities.
☆ Is the Uber, Lyft and gig economy battle over workers nearing its end game?
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
With federal regulators set to tighten Trump-era labor standards that let Uber and Lyft, as well as food-delivery services like Doordash, treat gig workers as independent contractors with few protections under labor law, shares dropped sharply last week. But while a shift, the Department of Labor proposal doesn't immediately transform gig workers into employees entitled to overtime pay, unemployment insurance and other benefits. "It seems like the start of a Game of Thrones battle between the Department of Labor and the gig economy,' Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said. Uber believes the Department of Labor is focused less on ridesharing and more on industries such as construction that also use gig workers, pointing out that the proposed rule doesn't single out rideshare drivers. Uber drivers also supply their own cars and gasoline, though the company in March added a per-trip fuel surcharge that goes directly to drivers.
