☆ Goldman Sachs: 3 top energy stocks to buy with valuations at 30-year lows for investors hoping to hedge against higher inflation and flaring tensions in the Middle East
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-16 | by ( James Faris | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Energy stocks have finally caught fire in an increasingly uncomfortable backdrop for investors. Another compelling selling point for energy stocks is that there will be strong long-term demand for oil, Kostin wrote. "Our commodities strategists expect long-term energy demand will remain solid, in part because of increased global energy demand from the structural rise in transportation needs in EMs and AI." All three stocks will enjoy resilient long-term energy demand, Kostin wrote. Each firm has pulled back lately alongside the slight dip in oil prices and would benefit if the rally resumes.

☆ 3 of our stocks report earnings next week. Here's what we want to see from each

Heightened tensions in the Middle East, including the possibility of Iran attacking Israel, sent stocks back down and oil prices higher. If the choice is between a weak economy with lower rates or a strong economy with higher rates, we'll take the strong economy every time. Low rates may help with valuation multiples, but it's a strong economy that leads to earnings growth and that's what we, as long-term investors care about. Shelter costs are a major sticking point for overall inflation, which makes Tuesday's housing starts and building permits report a key watch item. We'll get another look at housing with the release of the March existing home sales report on Thursday.

☆ Big oil is racing to scale up carbon capture to slash emissions but the challenges are immense
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-06 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +14 min

Some climate activists accuse the industry of simply investing in carbon capture as way to extend the use of oil and gas. The technology typically uses chemical absorption to capture carbon dioxide emitted from the chimney of an industrial plant. "The economic viability of carbon capture and sequestration is a challenge today because the cost of building most plants in order to capture carbon dioxide are very significant," the executive said. About two-thirds of the industry's carbon dioxide emissions come from chemical reactions that occur when breaking down limestone. SLB this month announced a nearly $400 million investment in Aker Carbon Capture, a pure-play carbon capture company based in Norway, in an effort to accelerate deployment of the technology at commercial scale.

As oil prices climb above $80 for the first time since late last year, energy stocks are roaring back with strength across multiple timeframes. As we review the energy sector, SLB stands out as a stock where value can be unlocked by the current environment. Despite a record year in 2023, SLB (SLB) traded lower this year on the back of geopolitical factors. As we evaluate the business, we know that SLB is the largest services and equipment provider for oil and gas exploration. The trade Despite implied volatility on SLB at the very bottom of its 52-week range, I still believe that the best trade structure for this trade would be buying a call vertical.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday reviewed oil service stocks after the sector's major players reported earnings, telling investors why he thinks SLB and Halliburton have room to run. Cramer said he's optimistic on these stocks after their earnings showed strong international business and efficient rigs. Both stocks have seen gains in the sessions since their reports, with Halliburton up 4.33% by Wednesday's close and SLB up 2.48%"I think SLB and Halliburton deserve all of this upside and more," Cramer said. Yes, the growth outlook for the oil service industry is better than I thought going into earnings, primarily thanks to increased activity overseas." He wondered if these oil service companies would become "victims of their own efficiency," with producers needing to purchase fewer rigs because each one can generate more oil than in the past.
