These stocks could surge if Oil prices start to rise

These stocks could surge if Oil prices start to rise
Elmaz Sabovic

Commodities such as oil tend to increase when there are geopolitical tensions, especially in the Middle East region, as they could affect the supply chains and further elevate the price of black gold.

According to sources within the market citing figures from the American Petroleum Institute (API), U.S. crude oil inventories increased last week, while fuel stockpiles experienced declines. 

The API data indicated a rise of 8.52 million barrels in crude stocks for the week ending February 9. Gasoline inventories decreased by 7.23 million barrels, while distillate stocks saw a decline of 4.02 million barrels.

Due to this disparity, commodity prices are expected to stay elevated in the short term, prompting Finbold to highlight oil stocks that could benefit from this occurrence.

ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP)

ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) is one of the world’s largest companies focused on exploration and production (E&P). With expertise in oil and natural gas discovery and extraction, it operates globally across over a dozen countries.

The company maintains profitability across various market conditions, with average production costs of around $40 per barrel and some resources even more economical. This advantageous position enables ConocoPhillips to generate substantial cash flow consistently.

Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN)

Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) is a leading E&P company primarily focusing on the United States. Its operational footprint encompasses diverse assets across several economically favorable, oil-rich basins. 

Notably, in 2021, the company introduced an innovative fixed-plus-variable dividend framework, a first in the industry. Under this framework, Devon allocates up to 50% of its surplus cash flow each quarter through variable dividend payments, following the fulfillment of its fixed base dividend and capital expenditure obligations.
The remaining surplus cash is strategically utilized to bolster the company’s financial position and execute share repurchases, contributing to long-term value creation for shareholders.

With the projections of OPEC that demand for oil and its derivatives is expected to remain unchanged in most of 2024 and 2025, companies based in the industry seem set to continue with the gains, especially considering their profit margins and the price of production.
