Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of oil after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs. The commodity may be experiencing strength amid escalating conflict between Pakistan and India.

Energy stocks are holding up amid the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45317301/5-treasury-yields-could-force-trump-to-slash-tariffs-in-q2-says-bofas-hartnett">trade chaos</a>, with the benchmark S&amp;P 500 Energy Index down -4.65% year to date but up 5.63% over the past month. Comparably, the S&amp;P 500 index stands at -3.70% year to date in what&#8217;s been a rough year for most stocks.
Still, energy stock valuations remain low, and the Trump administration has treated the oil and gas sectors favorably in its first 100 days &#8211; both of which are good news for sector stocks.
That&#8217;s not to say there aren&#8217;t worrisome issues for the energy sector.&nbsp;
The YChart energy index shows prices are down to 87.87 compared to 95.06 in April and 109.59 a year ago. OPEC and other major oil producers are expected to boost production again starting in June. In a recent research note, Goldman Sachs analyst Callum Bryce said its oil price forecast &#8220;remains to the downside,&#8221; citing recession risks and lower production capacity. While the tariff wars haven&#8217;t hurt the energy sector as severely as others, the costs of oil and gas production, refining, and transport are rising at a time when prices are lagging.
In its most recent<a href="https://boereport.com/2025/05/05/letter-to-stockholders-issued-by-diamondback-energy-inc-2/"> Letter to Stockholders</a>, outgoing Diamondback CEO Travis D. Stice said the oil industry is facing lower demand and higher supply, has lowered oil prices and increased volatility, &#8220;with massive industry changes on the horizon.&#8221;
&#8220;Over the past decade, the cost of supply for the average barrel of oil produced in the United States has increased. The shale revolution has evolved from proof of concept to manufacturing mode and is now in a more mature stage of development, providing (free cash flow generation and return of capital),&#8221; Stice stated. 
&#8220;Today, geologic headwinds outweigh the tailwinds provided by improvements in technology and operational efficiency,&#8221; he added. &#8220;On an inflation-adjusted basis, there have only been two quarters since 2004 where front-month oil prices have been as cheap as they are today (excluding 2020, which was impacted by the global pandemic). Therefore, we believe we are at a tipping point for U.S. oil production at current commodity prices.&#8221;
Still, there are promising signs. Energy stocks still trade at low valuations, and the Trump administration has treated the industry favorably.
&#8220;Energy is an industry that never sleeps,&#8221; said Adam Ferrari, CEO at Phoenix Energy. &#8220;Right now, the sector is in a state of strategic recalibration as a response to broader headwinds like inflation, trade imbalances, and geopolitical instability influencing cost structures.&#8221;
Additionally, political measures like President Trump&#8217;s executive orders surrounding energy security bolster fossil fuel development more broadly. &#8220;Still, companies need to include uncertainties in their plans for capital deployment and resource allocation in the future.&#8221;
Technology advancements are also working in the energy sector&#8217;s favor.
&#8220;The energy industry is undergoing significant changes due to multiple factors, including the rise of artificial intelligence and the massive building of infrastructure and the power requirements needed for data centers to operate which has the tech, and utilities sectors scrambling to meet the need,&#8221; said Chris Cook, Senior Equity Trader and Research Analyst at Frost Investment Advisors.
Those advancements should boost some energy suppliers more than others.
&#8220;These new opportunities are still in the beginning stages, and we expect more will develop as AI technology continues to evolve, making this a long-term investment theme over the next ten years or more,&#8221; Cook said. &#8220;Based on the advantages of access, availability, and reliability, we expect to see natural gas generation as an ideal fuel and power source to help close the demand gap, especially within Texas.&#8221;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Three Energy Stocks To Play In A Roiling Market</h1>
With enough moving parts to equip a Permian Basin oil rig, some high-value and high-dividend-paying energy stocks are worth looking at now. These three names could boost a dormant 2025 investment portfolio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marathon Petroleum</h2>
Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPC#NYSE">MPC</a>) is on the move, with its share price up 22% over the past month alone. In its most recent quarterly report, the company announced revenues of $31.85 billion, well ahead of analyst expectations of $1.7 billion. Analysts are essentially backing MPC, with Scotiabank issuing a buy rating on MPC while Bank of America is keeping a hold on the stock. MPC also offers a healthy 2.67% dividend yield, with the company reporting it would hold a 0.91% quarterly dividend, which should satisfy income-minded shareholders.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schlumberger Ltd.</h2>
Schlumberger Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>), a Houston-based energy technology company, has seen its shares fall by 10% year-to-date, but there&#8217;s a lot to like about the stock. Eight of nine analysts surveyed by Benzinga are either &#8220;bullish&#8221; or &#8220;somewhat bullish&#8221; on the stock, with a consensus target price of $50.4 per share. In a recent statement, SLB said it would boost shareholder returns to $4 billion in 2025. SLB stock currently clocks in with a robust 3.31% dividend yield.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kinder Morgan</h2>
Natural gas has been an energy industry stalwart, which is a big reason why the sector generated an 11.08% annualized return over three years and a 31.58% annualized return over the five years ending March 31, 2025, according to a recent<a href="https://www.usbank.com/investing/financial-perspectives/market-news/energy-sector-performance.html"> US Bank research note</a>.
&#8220;Rising natural gas prices are the biggest driver of energy sector performance,&#8221; says Rob Haworth, senior investment strategy director with U.S. Bank Asset Management Group. &#8220;Natural gas companies comprise about 30% of the sector&#8217;s S&amp;P 500 index. In early 2025, natural gas prices are significantly higher than they were at the end of 2024. &#8220;Demand for liquid natural gas (LNG), particularly from European markets, plays a role in price increases,&#8221; says Haworth, noting that European countries are replacing supplies produced in Russia before Russia invaded Ukraine.
Kinder Morgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>) fits the bill as a solid natural gas play. The energy company controls 40% of the natural gas transported in the U.S., and it stores and ships about 15% of all US natural gas. The stock is holding steady in 2025 and has returned 43% over the past year. Toss in a hefty 4.30% dividend, and KMI stands out as a stable force in an increasingly unstable energy economy.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other Energy Plays To Consider</h1>
Market mavens are also looking at a handful of other energy stocks worth special attention.
&#8220;On the natural gas front, Cheniere Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>) remains a standout given its role in U.S. LNG exports and strong global demand,&#8221; said Fabio Ruggeri, founder &amp; CEO of MenthorQ, an AI-powered investment trading platform. &#8220;EOG Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EOG#NYSE">EOG</a>) is a top-tier shale operator with disciplined capital management, while Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PXD#NYSE">PXD</a>) offers solid Permian exposure and attractive shareholder return policies.&#8221;
Ruggeri likes the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) for a broader play. 
&#8220;The fund gives diversified exposure to large-cap energy names that could benefit from a cyclical rotation back into value and commodities,&#8221; he noted. &#8220;With geopolitical instability and policy tailwinds, fossil fuel stocks remain a tactical overweight for many macro investors.&#8221;

So much for &#8220;drill, baby, drill.&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The energy sector</a> is drilling all right &#8211; straight into red territory.
Down a bruising 11.47% over the past month, Energy, as tracked by the SPDR Energy Select ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), has officially become the worst-performing sector in the S&amp;P 500. And investors have Donald Trump's tariffs &#8211; and falling oil prices &#8211; to thank.
For perspective, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) is down just 0.91% over the past month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chevron, Halliburton, Occidental Down Over 15%</h2>
While the broader market treaded water, energy names went into free fall. Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) shed over 16.73% this month, Halliburton Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) crashed 19.16% and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) nosedived 18.25%.
APA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>) is off a staggering 22.74%. Even shale poster child Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) fell 16.31%. The carnage is deep and widespread.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brutal Blow To Trump&#8217;s Energy Dominance Agenda</h2>
The culprit? A toxic mix of plummeting crude prices &#8211; U.S. oil has slid below $65 &#8211; and trade policy uncertainty. Tariffs are rattling supply chains and investor confidence. Oilfield giants like Baker Hughes, SLB, and Halliburton have already warned of slowing investment in exploration and drilling, forecasting double-digit drops in North American activity, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/oil-companies-that-trump-wants-to-drill-baby-drill-take-a-beating.html">reported</a> CNBC. 
And they're not shy about pointing fingers. "Tariffs are causing economic uncertainty," Schlumberger NV's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) CEO Olivier Le Peuch said last week. Baker Hughes Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>) added that rising tariffs could slice as much as $200 million from earnings.
It's a brutal blow to Trump's energy dominance agenda, which had sought to unleash America's oil might.
But with investors now prioritizing capital discipline and waiting for clearer policy signals, that plan might be on pause. As one American Petroleum Institute analyst put it, the industry's most-used word lately? "Uncertainty." For now, it's the one thing Trump's energy push is producing in abundance.

<h2>How Are Analyst Ratings Determined?</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts will also offer forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide further guidance on stocks. Investors who use analyst ratings should note that this specialized advice comes from humans and may be subject to error.

Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro slashed the price forecast for Schlumberger (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) from $58.00 to $54.00 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SLB/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">while reaffirming a Buy rating</a>.
On April 25, the company reported a 3% year-over-year decline in first-quarter 2025 revenue to $8.49 billion, missing estimates of $8.59 billion and adjusted EPS of 72 cents, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45011665/schlumberger-falls-short-on-q1-results-but-maintains-strong-payout-strategy-and-buyback-completion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which fell short of</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45011665/schlumberger-falls-short-on-q1-results-but-maintains-strong-payout-strategy-and-buyback-completion" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the consensus of 74 cents</a>.
The analyst writes that despite the current macroeconomic uncertainty, the company&#8217;s margin performance is likely aided by its Digital business, the strength of its Production Systems segment, and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
SLB has reaffirmed its expectation for strong free cash flow (FCF) and its commitment to returning at least $4 billion to shareholders <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in 2025, notes the analyst</a>.
The analyst slashed EBITDA estimates to $8.38 billion (from $8.94 billion) for 2025 and $9.08 billion (from $9.75 billion) for 2026.
Overall, Gengaro expects the company&#8217;s strong FCF margin (10%+ expected through 2025) and low leverage to provide financial flexibility.
Also, the ChampionX acquisition is projected to benefit customers (especially offshore) and increase SLB&#8217;s exposure to resilient production/recovery <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38054329/championx-schlumberger-shares-move-in-opposite-directions-after-8b-deal-announcement" rel="noreferrer noopener">markets, adds the analyst</a>.

Wall Street's three-day rally came to a pause on Friday, with major indices hovering near the flatline by midday in New York as caution returned amid mixed signals on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/45004954/china-reportedly-begins-exempting-key-us-imports-from-tariffs-including-pharma-and-aerospace-parts">U.S.-China trade relations.</a>
President Donald Trump claimed to have held a phone call with President Xi Jinping, yet Chinese officials denied that any talks had taken place.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) extended its rally into a fourth consecutive session, notching its best weekly performance of the year with a 16% gain. On Thursday afternoon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a new regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles, saying it aimed to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and advance toward a unified national standard.
T-Mobile US Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>) was the biggest laggard of the day, falling 11%, on track for its worst single-day loss since March 2020. This came despite better-than-expected earnings, as its core wireless business posted slower growth than analysts had projected.
Among sectors, consumer discretionary led gains, buoyed by Tesla's 8% gain, while materials underperformed.
In fixed income, Treasury yields declined for a fourth straight session, underscoring how critical Trump's early-week reassurance — that he would not dismiss Fed Chair Jerome Powell — was for bond market sentiment.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note dropped 4 basis points to 4.27%, on course for its lowest close since April 8.
In commodities, gold slid 2%, oil held steady at $62 per barrel, and natural gas rose 1% to $3 per million British thermal units, snapping a 10-session losing streak.

Wall Street Rally Pauses, Tesla Heads For Strongest Week In 6 Months: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) shares are trading lower on Friday after the company reported worse-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b45003862/slb-announces-first-quarter-2025-results-remains-committed-to-return-a-minimum-of-4-billion-to-sha" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025</a> results.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Revenue declined 3% year over year to $8.49 billion, missing estimates of $8.59 billion. Adjusted EPS slid 4% to 72 cents, missing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of 74 cents</a>.
North America revenue rose 8% YoY to $1.72B, driven by digital, subsea, and data center sales, but fell 2% sequentially on lower drilling activity.
International revenue declined 5% year-over-year to $6.73 billion, as revenue in Latin America fell 10% YoY, driven primarily by reduced drilling activity in Mexico.

Revenue by Division: Digital &amp; Integration $1.006 billion (+6% YoY); Reservoir Performance $1.70 billion (-1% YoY); Well Construction $2.98 billion (-12% YoY), and Production Systems $2.938 billion (+4% Y/Y).
"First-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was slightly up year on year despite softer revenue as we continued to navigate the evolving market dynamics," stated SLB Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch.
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.02 billion for the quarter, down 1.8% YoY, and margin expanded 17 bps to 23.8%. The pretax segment operating margin contracted by 60 bps for the quarter to 18.3%.
Operating cash flow for the quarter totaled $660 million compared to $327 million a year ago, and free cash flow was $103 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.897 billion as of March 31, 2025
"SLB is committed to returning more than 50% of its free cash flow to our shareholders, and we will materially exceed this target in 2025. We continue to have confidence in our ability to generate strong cash flow in the current environment and will return a minimum of $4 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases this year," Le Peuch added.
Dividend: Schlumberger declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.285 per share, payable on July 10, 2025, to stockholders of record on June 4, 2025.
"The industry may experience a potential shift of priorities driven by changes in the global economy, fluctuating commodity prices and evolving tariffs — all of which could impact upstream oil and gas investment and, in turn, affect demand for our products and services. In this uncertain environment, we remain committed to protecting our margins, generating strong cash flow and delivering consistent value to our customers and shareholders in 2025," Le Peuch concluded.
SLB completed its $2.3B accelerated share repurchase program on April 7, 2025, buying back 56.8 million shares at an average price of $40.51.
Price Action: At the last check on Friday, SLB shares were trading lower by 0.04% at $34.92.
