  • TDW
    Tidewater Inc
  • $59.71
  • +2.77%
  • $58.49

In the recent post below, Cramer points out that some these players could increase their dividends which would create a nice haven for investors in the current market. “What happens if the oil companies start actually recognizing their good fortune -- their sustainable good fortune -- and start boosting dividends the way that Tidewater (TDW) did last week with its 67% hike. Throughout this great run with oil and gas, it seems that the companies themselves haven't caught up with the good fortune. They haven't spent that much on drilling relative to profits, and they have chosen to buy a lot of stock back, never bad. But what if they start returning the profits to shareholders in the form of dividends? I think that what could happen is that you wouldn't think that Chevron (CVX) and Occidental Petroleum (OXY) and Exxon (XOM) are such nose-bleeders. If you go back and look at the presentations of Conoco (COP) -- a very pro-shareholder company -- you'll see how the dividend could be boosted hugely without hurting the growth of the company. I am betting that Tidewater may not be an isolated example. This group could provide a lot of good dividend news this year, another reason that if and when oil comes back to $120 -- where I think it will go before going over its previous highs -- you want to buy the stocks, not sell them. “
