The "century mark" is back.
With oil prices breaking through $100/bbl, the energy sector is once again the loudest room in the market.
But let’s be real: in 2026, trading energy isn't just about watching the crude ticker—it’s about finding the companies that actually know how to turn that heat into shareholder value.
I’ve broken down 10 must-watch tickers across the US, Australia, and Singapore.
Whether you’re looking for "Buffett-approved" stability or high-growth shale plays, here’s the breakdown:
$Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ $Chevron(CVX)$ $SHELL PLC SPON ADS EACH REPR 2 ORD SHS(SHEL)$ $ConocoPhillips(COP)$ $Occidental(OXY)$ $Valero(VLO)$ $BHP GROUP LTD(BHP.AU)$ $WOODSIDE ENERGY GROUP LTD(WPL.AU)$ $SANTOS LIMITED(STO.AU)$ $Keppel(BN4.SI)$
Pro Tip: Why isn't my oil stock "mooning" with the oil price?
Here’s a classic rookie mistake: thinking $100 oil = automatic 10% gain for every energy stock.
Reality check: Oil price is just the revenue side. You also have to look at:
-
Extraction Costs: Is it getting more expensive to get the oil out?
-
Capex: Are they spending all their profits on new rigs?
-
Dividend Policy: Are they actually giving that money back to you?
-
Always look at the margins, not just the headlines.
