BP, Saturn Oil + Gas, Royal Dutch Shell - JP Morgan: Oil price rises to USD 190 due to supply deficit - these are the future price rockets!

Last spring in the middle of the Corona Crisis, when the oil price was at the bottom, the US investment bank JP Morgan published a bold forecast. Although this was ridiculed at first, it was to be given more attention in the future. The experts drew a plausible scenario of an upcoming "oil supercycle." The oversupplied oil markets would transition to a "fundamental supply deficit" starting in 2022, which would drive the oil price close to the USD 100 mark at that time. In the medium term, the investment bank's analysts even expect a price level of USD 190. If the forecasts are only half correct, then it is: buy, buy, buy. We present you 3 shares with huge potential!

    BP PLC - more than just a green logo

    BP's share price has risen by more than 50% since its low at the end of October and is currently trading at around 314 pence. At that time, the oil price was just below USD 40. The share has thus underperformed the commodity since the fall. The reasons are certainly the extremely high loss that the British oil Company had to make in 2020 and the missed annual figures' expectations presented on February 2. Nevertheless, a decent dividend was paid.

    In part, however, it is also the prospects that do not entirely convince investors because not all investors are as bullish about the price development of black gold as JP Morgan, who see a price potential of up to 440 pence for the shares - a nice upside of almost 40%!

    In addition, it is the strategic turn that the Group is taking. By 2030, BP wants to develop into an integrated energy Company that focuses on providing customers solutions. In doing so, BP will invest more in renewables and develop existing hydrocarbon reservoirs. All oil and gas processing sites are under review. Most recently, BP reported that it would divest several oil fields in Kazakhstan. Even if the stock is not a "pure play" in the oil market going forward, we view the transformation positively. After all, the focus is on sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important for investors and profitability. With the BP share, you will be able to sleep soundly.

    SATURN OIL & GAS INC - share is far too cheap

    There are several reasons why investors should take a closer look at the stock of Canadian oil and gas producer Saturn Oil & Gas. First of all, the Company, which focuses on the acquisition and development of undervalued and low-risk oil and gas areas in Canada, is very favorably valued. At the current price of CAD 0.14, the market capitalization is just CAD 33 million.

    The current operational focus is the province of Saskatchewan. The declared goal is to build a portfolio with strong cash flows. Acquisitions also fit perfectly into the picture, which CEO John Jeffrey again explicitly emphasized a few months ago. Such a deal could, of course, trigger a share price firework. But the low-cost position also makes the stock extremely exciting and gives it significant leverage for when the oil price rises.

    Another critical point is sustainability, which the Company addressed at an early stage and is successively increasing its efforts and measures and personnel. Investors can still find a favorable entry opportunity in the share at the moment.

    ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC - currently not a favorite of analysts

    Royal Dutch Shell has also taken up the cause of sustainability. Under the motto "Powering Progress," the Group wants to work on a significant reduction of CO2 emissions and achieve further sustainable goals and increase the value of its shares.

    According to market estimates, the Group will generate around 85% of its expected 2021 sales of EUR 211 billion from the refining and distributing of crude oil and natural gas. Its portfolio includes 15 refineries worldwide and a network of 45,000 service stations.

    On average, analysts expect a net income of EUR 9 billion for the current year, giving the stock a P/E ratio of 16. The dividend yield is currently calculated at 3.3%. On average, the share is currently seen as having a low upside potential of only 8%.

    Energy Shortages Caused by AI: Kinder Morgan, Standard Uranium and GE Vernova Could Benefit

    The AI boom, and its impact on energy demand, has long since reached Germany. In Frankfurt, home to the DE-CIX hub, data centres now account for a significant share of the city's peak power demand. Elsewhere, however, the figures are even more extreme. Consequently, access to energy is currently the bottleneck in the expansion of AI data centres. In the United States, the epicentre of AI expansion, AI data centres already account for more than 4.5% of total US electricity consumption. This is putting the entire power grid to the test. And this share is expected to rise to over 8% by 2030. And who knows whether these estimates from the International Energy Agency (IEA) are not actually too low. After all, a single AI query consumes about ten times as much energy as a normal internet search. Consequently, energy prices, as well as energy providers and their supply chains, should benefit from this trend. That is why we are looking at the stocks of Kinder Morgan, Standard Uranium and GE Vernova today.

    Extremely high volatility — and almost every day. Iran threatens escalation, pushing oil prices higher, while Donald Trump publicly dreams of a quick peace deal, which could, in turn, push oil prices lower. Yesterday, however, Brent crude was trading at nearly USD 107 per barrel. Billions of dollars are being made in this back-and-forth by trading desks that operate largely outside the public eye, while questionable market activity is, of course, scrutinized mainly when it involves the average retail investor. The stock market has become a mirror reflecting just how much the world has changed. Autocratic rulers dictate the direction of attention and increasingly shape how societies interact. In the past, wars were waged over religious differences and territorial claims; today, economic interests clearly dominate, with everything else often serving as a pretext. After all, only countries close to the oil reserves have a direct interest in keeping oil prices high. Interestingly, over the past four years, the United States has risen to become the world's largest oil producer, ahead of Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. Several stocks have significant exposure to these developments, particularly in the aviation and travel sectors. As always, the issue comes down to steadily rising costs. For speculative investors, some of the key players are worth a closer look.

    The Full Picture: BP and Shell Produce, Zefiro Methane Cleans Up, Everyone Wins!

    Created and Published on Behalf of Zefiro Methane Corp.

    BP and Shell's oil and gas business will end once the last well is drained. Once the resources are depleted and the profits stop flowing, Zefiro Methane's time begins. The Canadians have built a business model around professionally decommissioning orphaned oil and gas wells. Growth has accelerated significantly in recent months through partnerships and acquisitions. Looking ahead, the monetization of avoided methane emissions could open up an additional high-margin business through emissions credits. As a hidden champion in a massively underestimated market, whose volume is estimated at around USD 500 billion, GBC analysts believe the stock has significant upside potential.
