Hello Investing Friend!!
I hope you are well!!
If not, I have a special double-header report for you!!
We have been talking about the 1970s style set-up we may be in currently. And with that in mind, we shared an energy portfolio with you (along with six other portfolios) a couple of weeks ago.
Now with the conflict in Iran, one of these names is up just a smidge:
So we thought we would do a rundown of the energy portfolio and plays. And then we will also focus on one of the most interesting names.
In addition to the 1970s possibilities, OPEC also recently gave in to extra production pleas from the US. So that could mean an ensuing bottom in the price of the cyclical commodity. That could possibly be around the spring of 2026.
That assumes the Middle East does not spiral out of control.
So we see five categories of ways to play the energy set-up, whatever the course. To wit:
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production – Firms that are insulated from Middle East instability, but benefit from global oil price spikes
Oilfield Services and Equipment – Benefiting from increased drilling, these companies swing with oil prices even more than E&P firms
Midstream – Pipeline and storage firms indirectly benefit from increased production spurred by global price rises. Long-term contracts and stable cash flows make it the steady yin to the services and equipment sector’s volatile yang.
Other Energy Plays – Nuclear and coal are interesting in addition to oil and gas, and royalties offer a different dynamic
Non-Energy Plays – Regional plays in areas like Alaska, Brazil, and Kazakhstan become more interesting if prices are set to re-rate higher
