This means the recent economic downturn and rapidly rising inflation have generally increased loan delinquencies and encouraged banks to set aside more capital for loan losses. However, because economic expansions last considerably longer than contractions, banks like U.S. Bancorp benefit from the long-term growth in loans and deposits -- i.e., the "bread and butter of banking," as I like to call it.</p><p>Speaking of the bread and butter of banking, regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp has regularly stood out for its superior return on assets, relative to other big banks. Whereas most money-center banks were lured by riskier derivative investments prior to the financial crisis more than a decade ago, U.S. Bancorp's relatively conservative management team avoided these pitfalls. Translation: It's bounced back from recessions quickly, and often in better shape than other large banks.</p><p>U.S. Bancorp also deserves credit for its top-tier digital engagement push. As of the end of May 2022, 82% of the company's active customers were banking digitally. More importantly, 64% of loan sales were completed online or via mobile app. For some context, only 45% of loan sales were completed digitally at the beginning of 2020. Because digital transactions are <i>substantially</i> cheaper for banks than in-person or phone-based interactions, this digital push is allowing U.S. Bancorp to consolidate some of its branches and lower its noninterest expenses.</p><h2>Chevron</h2><p>The fifth and final especially safe Warren Buffett stock that investors can confidently buy right now is oil and gas major <b>Chevron</b>.</p><p>Understandably, the idea of buying an oil stock simply won't be palatable to some investors. It was just a little over two years ago that the initial lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic sent crude oil and natural gas demand off a cliff, which ultimately pummeled drilling and exploration companies. However, Chevron is a different breed of oil company that was able to successfully navigate its way through a rough patch for the oil industry.</p><p>Chevron's greatest asset might be its integrated operating model. Although it generates its juiciest margins from its upstream drilling operations, the company also owns transmission pipeline, refineries, and chemical plants. Midstream assets, such as pipelines and storage, almost always operate with fixed-fee or volume-based contracts. In other words, operating cash flow tends to be highly predictable and transparent. Meanwhile, Chevron's downstream refineries and chemical operations typically act as a hedge to falling energy prices.</p><p>Additionally, Chevron is in excellent financial shape, compared to other global oil and gas giants. Chevron's debt-to-equity ratio is below 20%, and the company is well positioned to further pay down debt, boost its already lofty dividend, and repurchase up to $10 billion in common stock this year.</p><p>If this still isn't enough to convince you that Chevron is a safe long-term investment, consider this: Due to reduced capital investment during the pandemic and Russia - Ukraine war, global oil and gas supply should remain constrained for years. That's a positive development for energy commodity prices, and ultimately drillers.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>5 of the Safest Warren Buffett Stocks You Can Confidently Buy Right Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n5 of the Safest Warren Buffett Stocks You Can Confidently Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-11 08:55 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/10/5-safest-warren-buffett-stocks-you-can-buy-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett has, arguably, cemented himself among the investing greats.

This means the recent economic downturn and rapidly rising inflation have generally increased loan delinquencies and encouraged banks to set aside more capital for loan losses. However, because economic expansions last considerably longer than contractions, banks like U.S. Bancorp benefit from the long-term growth in loans and deposits -- i.e., the \"bread and butter of banking,\" as I like to call it.Speaking of the bread and butter of banking, regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp has regularly stood out for its superior return on assets, relative to other big banks. Whereas most money-center banks were lured by riskier derivative investments prior to the financial crisis more than a decade ago, U.S. Bancorp's relatively conservative management team avoided these pitfalls. Translation: It's bounced back from recessions quickly, and often in better shape than other large banks.U.S. Bancorp also deserves credit for its top-tier digital engagement push. As of the end of May 2022, 82% of the company's active customers were banking digitally. More importantly, 64% of loan sales were completed online or via mobile app. For some context, only 45% of loan sales were completed digitally at the beginning of 2020.

It was just a little over two years ago that the initial lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic sent crude oil and natural gas demand off a cliff, which ultimately pummeled drilling and exploration companies. However, Chevron is a different breed of oil company that was able to successfully navigate its way through a rough patch for the oil industry.Chevron's greatest asset might be its integrated operating model. Although it generates its juiciest margins from its upstream drilling operations, the company also owns transmission pipeline, refineries, and chemical plants. Midstream assets, such as pipelines and storage, almost always operate with fixed-fee or volume-based contracts. In other words, operating cash flow tends to be highly predictable and transparent. Meanwhile, Chevron's downstream refineries and chemical operations typically act as a hedge to falling energy prices.Additionally, Chevron is in excellent financial shape, compared to other global oil and gas giants.
