According to David Kostin and his team, companies are continuing to spend cash even as EPS is down. Companies with strong balance sheets will continue to reward shareholders. Stocks are getting rattled by what's going on in the bond market. This dynamic means that companies with expensive debt to repay are less attractive to investors, according to an October 20 note from Goldman Sachs.

Since our shareholders are getting Chevron stock, we get to participate in the upside, and also get a higher dividend," he said. He added that Hess shareholders who keep their shares in their combined company will see their dividend rise from $1.75 to $6 per share following the close of the deal. Exxon and Chevron are keen on these deals because they want to avoid the risk of exploring unproven reserves as oil and gas become scarcer. Exxon and Chevron had $29.5 billion and $9.3 billion in cash, respectively, as of the end of June. Keeping dividends and share buybacks strong helps compensate existing Exxon and Chevron shareholders for the dilution incurred in the all-stock acquisitions.
