When renowned financial institutions and billionaires have an opinion, it is often heard in the market, especially when it does not correspond to the current mainstream. The more established the name or the bigger the bank account, the more weight this opinion carries with investors. In recent weeks, the oil price has become a plaything for politicians. The decline in demand for crude oil in connection with the restrictions imposed to contain the spread of the corona pandemic, coupled with inconsistencies within the OPEC+ cartel, have even pushed the futures for WTI oil into negative territory on its expiration date in April. This is an unprecedented situation, which is also a foundation for the creation of new wealth. Billionaire Naguib Sawiris and JP Morgen agree on the price trend and expect high potential.

    Experiences and expertise

    The Egyptian Naguib Sawiris is Chairman and CEO of Orascom Investment Holding and is one of the world's most wealthy individuals. In a recent interview Sawiris gave an assessment of the development of the oil price. Due to the expected change in the competitive situation, the successful company executive believes that the oil price will rise from the current level of about USD 25 to USD 100 per barrel in the next 18 months. The experts at JP Morgen also assume that the oil price could move back into the triple-digit range in the next two years.

    Peaceful oil for the future

    The opportunities for investors to participate in the oil sector are manifold. In addition to futures, funds and certificates, company shares offer an opportunity to bet on the turnaround of the oil price. The higher the oil price, the higher the margin for the companies. European and Canadian listed companies will be able to profit from the expected boom and, conversely, their shareholders will also benefit.

    Especially the importance of environmental protection and the observance of human rights will gain in importance in the future. Modern society attaches great importance to sustainability and ethical integrity. In this context, the purchase of oil from undemocratic countries is highly questionable.

    Canada with potential

    For example, a diversified portfolio can include various oil stocks from democratic regions. Investors who share the opinion of JP Morgan and Sawiris and believe that oil will continue to play an important role in the economy in the coming years should look at the shares of European companies BP and Shell. The shares of Crescent Point and Saturn Oil & Gas promise potential in Canada.

    The management of the young producer Saturn Oil & Gas has taken up the subject of ESG and plans to expand through acquisitions. Given that the market value of this company is around CAD 27 million, the price potential at the current level of CAD 0.115 is correspondingly high.

    The Methane Puzzle: Are Zefiro Methane, BP, and Siemens Energy Entering the Next Growth Phase?

    For many years, the energy transition was viewed in simple terms: phase out fossil fuels and replace them with wind and solar power. The reality, however, has proven to be far more complex. As electricity demand surges, driven by data centers, artificial intelligence, and the ongoing electrification of the economy, natural gas is increasingly being recognized worldwide as an indispensable transition fuel. At the same time, political and economic pressure is mounting to drastically reduce climate-damaging methane emissions along the entire value chain. This is where Zefiro Methane is carving out its niche. By plugging abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States, many of which continue to release significant amounts of methane into the atmosphere, the company is addressing a multi-billion-dollar market.

    The Perfect Storm: Wars Are Driving Energy Stocks Like Occidental Petroleum, American Atomics, and First Solar

    The war in the Persian Gulf is escalating again. There appears to be no chance of a peaceful resolution between the warring parties at this time. Meanwhile, refineries in Russia are burning, which is also jeopardizing diesel supply in Germany. Prices for oil, gas, and other energy commodities are rising again. The markets have reacted swiftly, driving up shares in the energy sector. One thing is clear: a precarious situation is unfolding, especially as oil reserves are dwindling even in the US, despite record-high production there. However, the high prices also encourage us to look beyond the oil market. The comeback of nuclear energy and the continued rise of solar power offer opportunities. That is why we are taking a look today at the stocks of Occidental Petroleum, American Atomics, and First Solar.

    Between the Oil Price Rally and Climate Billions: How Shell, Eni, and Zefiro Methane Are Profiting

    The escalating conflict between the US and Iran is driving oil prices sharply higher—and with them, the share prices of energy companies like Shell and Eni. For their shareholders, that is the good news. The bad news: ironically, the very oil multinationals currently profiting from the crisis are viewed by the public as greedy climate offenders. To polish up their image, they are among the largest buyers of voluntary CO₂ credits. Many of these, however, are of dubious quality. Anyone looking for a solution to this problem almost inevitably ends up at Zefiro Methane, a largely undiscovered small-cap stock from Canada. The company addresses precisely the issues where Shell and Eni are struggling the most.
