Inflation Hedge Stock 6/30

Hey Patreons, this is episode 6 out of 30 in our inflation friendly stocks.

As I mentioned, there are number of industries that tend to perform better during inflationary times, with energy being one of them. In this post I want to share with you an energy powerhouse stock which will be a great fit based on this strategy and should perform well during inflation.

The stock is $BP British Petroleum.

Currently the price is $27.54 and I can see a price go to $31 per share by the end of this year. The average price target on TipRanks is $29.9 per share. During the past 12 months the share price increased by almost 14% which leaves  a lot of room for appreciation and makes it into a very interesting inflation play.

BP is a $92B energy company, with with a very nice 4.6% expected dividend yield. The company is generating $180B in revenue per year.

The Levered Free Cash Flow Margin for the past 12 months is 10.55%. Their revenue took a hit last year with -24.15%, but that seems to be covid driven, and should reverse once the markets fully reopen and energy consumption goes up. This metric scares most investors, but if you can see its transitory you see this as an opportunity. 

BP is trading at a very low multiple, given its attractive status as an inflation friendly company, the EV / Sales is 0.83! EV to Ebitda is 7.66! Price to Sales is 0.5! This company is trading at a massive discount right now. 

The stock is up 25% over the past 6 months, which is a lot but its still very cheap and its still extremely attractive as an inflationary hedge. Don't forget the 4.6% dividend yield which is also in play here. Going back to pre-COVID levels and considering inflation, this stock should serve as a very good safe haven to ride out the storm.
