Stock price when the opinion was issued
Her energy outlook: bullish. If there's a rotation based on valuation, then energy is now attractive. If the Fed cuts rates in the second half of 2024, the 2-year-yield will drop which will benefit dividend stocks like energy. Also, we're in summer driving season and an oil price shock can always happen.
The oil price is up 16% in the past 3 months and energy stocks up 11%, so stocks lag. However, interest in oil futures has not been this high since Oct. 2021, so eeryone is looking for oil opportunities. Also, hedge funds are holding their highest positions in energy since Feb. 2022, when the Russian war began. This means the spot price of oil is vulnerable to a correction, but the supply/demand imbalance makes energy stocks a buy.
