We’re selling 200 shares of Devon Energy (DVN) at roughly $59.23 each. Following Tuesday’s trade, Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust will own 900 shares of DVN, decreasing its weighting in the portfolio to 1.82% from 2.21%. In-line with our prior commentary of paring down our energy exposure into strength so that we do not make the unforgivable mistake of turning gains into losses, we’re trimming our position in Devon Energy on Tuesday morning, one day after selling some Chevron (CVX) shares. (On Monday, we bought some more shares of Halliburton (HAL) after a strong earnings beat and a tepid stock reaction. But net-net with the CVX sale, we reduced our energy exposure.) Shares of Devon, this best-in-class independent exploration and production company, had a strong day Monday, gaining 5% in what was a muted day for the broader market. DVN was up again in Tuesday’s premarket. The relative outperformance is expected to continue Tuesday, with energy stocks poised to open higher for the second day in a row despite softness in the broader market. With this sale, we will realize a gain of about 28% on shares we purchased in January 2022. We will also downgrade our DVN rating to a 2 , meaning we would be buyers on a pullback. (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long DVN, CVX and HAL. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
