Energy is a broad industry that covers a lot of ground, from oil drilling to electricity. If you are looking for an energy investment, you have a huge number of options. The question is how you want to play it. Today, high-yielding ExxonMobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) and Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D) appear to be good income opportunities, but they are taking vastly different approaches to the changes taking shape in the energy industry. Here's what you need to know to decide if one, both, or neither of these energy stocks is worth adding to your portfolio.
Sticking to the planExxon is one of the world's largest integrated oil and natural gas companies, with operations in upstream drilling and in downstream chemicals and refining. That provides some balance, since downstream operations tend to perform relatively well when upstream operations are struggling, and vice versa. Exxon is also very conservatively run, with an eye toward the long term. For example, its debt-to-equity ratio of 0.12 is lower than those of all its major peers, which should allow it to weather just about any storm.
