Devon Energy is not currently showing a potential buy point. The recent breakout from a Double-Bottom base failed. It is currently trading below key moving averages, so it is best to see if the stock goes on to build a new base that could launch a new move.

The company reported 102% earnings growth in its most recent report, while sales growth came in at 57%.

The company holds the No. 22 rank among its peers in the Oil&Gas-U.S. Exploration & Production industry group. (WLL) and Denbury (DEN) are also among the group’s highest-rated stocks.
