Despite recent underperformance, Devon's attractive valuation and potential for substantial gains make it a compelling buy for those who can handle volatility.
Devon Energy just declared a dividend of $0.44 per share for Q2, versus $0.35 a share in Q1. The oil stock's dividend policy and growth plans hint at bigger dividends in the coming quarters.
