Why energy plays are for long-term investors
The energy sector (XLK) has continued to outperform throughout 2024. Alpine Saxon Woods Chief Market Strategist Sarah Hunt and CFRA Energy Equity Analyst and Deputy Research Director Stewart Glickman join Market Domination to share insight on navigating this sector. Glickman emphasizes that investors looking to capitalize on the energy sector should first consider their outlook for crude oil prices. He believes that with crude oil prices are expected to average between $80 and $90 per barrel in 2024: "In that kind of environment, you want to be positioned in upstream," the analyst tells Yahoo Finance. He recommends exploring names like Exxon (XOM), citing "a lot of growth potential." With an uptick in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity throughout the sector, Glickman notes that the "common theme" is exposure to the Permian Basin, a trend he believes is "likely to persist." Hunt acknowledges that supply and demand issues have been a headwind for the sector since the pandemic. However, with an "energy transition underway" she remains bullish on energy "from a longer-term perspective." She also highlights the significant consolidation within the sector, with companies combining forces to boost operations and enhance their competitive edge.

The 140-mile (225-km) pipeline will feed Guyana's $1.9 billion gas-to-power project aimed at ending the country's dependence on imported fuels and at lowering energy costs for residents. Exxon has said it will halt production to fulfill a commitment made with local authorities to have the pipeline connected by year end, despite delays on the government-run onshore part of the project.
