Energy Stocks in Focus: GeoPark, Tidewater, and Targa Resources

Energy stocks are getting attention as inflation and oil prices stay in focus. The Iran conflict and new tariffs are affecting everything from gasoline to groceries, making markets uneasy but also putting a spotlight on energy sector stocks.

With a market cap of US$615 million, GeoPark gives investors direct exposure to higher crude and gas prices through its Latin American fields.

Tidewater's revenue was around US$1.35 billion in 2026, with a significant portion coming from Europe and West Africa.

With a market cap of US$57.2 billion, Targa Resources has been generating significant revenue, including US$6.6 billion from Gathering and Processing and about US$13.8 billion from Logistics and Transportation.
