This stock is very solid story for investors looking to stay long or enter the energy sector. Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) sports a sizable dividend, and has a solid place in the sector when it comes to natural gas and liquefied natural gas. Some Wall Street analysts estimate the company will have a compound annual growth rate of over 5% for the next five years, and the stock trades at a modest valuation discount to some of its mega-cap peers.
