Investors Turn Bullish On Energy Stocks Despite Wall Street Skepticism: Portfolio Allocations Increase
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Investor sentiment towards oil and gas stocks is rising, contradicting Wall Street’s cautious outlook. Fund managers have been progressively favoring energy stocks in October, shifting from a 1% underweight position to an 8% overweight position. However, Wall Street experts remain skeptical about the sector’s ability to sustain this growth. The S&P 500 Energy Index, as tracked by the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLE), has risen by 19% since June. Analysts have downgraded multiple shale-oil firms, including EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE:EOG) and Devon Energy Corp. (NYSE:DVN).
