WTI Crude Enters Bear Market: Is It Time For Value-Contrarian Investors To Jump Into Cheap US Oil Stocks?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Crude oil prices have dropped by 20%, entering a bear market, due to concerns of a global demand slowdown. This has impacted energy-related stocks, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), SPDR Oil & Gas Exploration and Production ETF (XOP), and VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH) all experiencing declines. Chevron Corporation (CVX), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), and Schlumberger N.V. (SLB) have also seen declines. However, the decline in energy-related stocks has increased the appeal of traditional valuation metrics, with several large-cap U.S. energy stocks now trading at levels below 10x.
