Four Integrated Energy Stocks Poised for Growth Amid Promising Business Environment
The Zacks Equity Research team has identified ExxonMobil Holdings Corp., Chevron Corp., BP plc, and Eni SpA as four integrated energy stocks poised to benefit from a promising business environment.
With West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices hovering around $90 per barrel, the companies' exploration and production operations are expected to remain advantageous. Additionally, the midstream business of these integrated players has lower exposure to commodity price volatility, generating stable fee-based revenues.
The Zacks Oil and Gas Integrated International industry, which includes ExxonMobil Holdings Corp., Chevron Corp., BP plc, and Eni SpA, carries a Zacks Industry Rank #77, indicating bright near-term prospects. The industry's current valuation is lower than the S&P 500's EV/EBITDA ratio.
Eni expects its oil and gas production to grow about 4% annually through 2030, driven by new projects across Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Eni currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). BP is well-positioned to capitalize on oil prices through its upstream operations and increasing global demand for LNG.
