The oil price continues to gain momentum and is still trading around 40% below the January 2020 level, and now the right stocks are in the spotlight. In addition to the well-known major oil producers such as BP and Shell, there are also successful producers who are not yet so well known, but who certainly have potential. Last night the young Canadian oil producer Saturn Oil & Gas published the results of the past fiscal year. Due to the Corona Pandemic, the company had postponed the release, which is currently nothing special and is officially made possible by an extended deadline.

    First annual profit in company history

    According to its financial statements, Saturn Oil & Gas increased its oil sales from CAD 4.5 million in 2018 to CAD 18.3 million in 2019, a increase of over 300%. For the first time in the company's history, an annual profit was reported. The Adjusted EBITDAX even reached a level of CAD 12.7 million. Saturn Oil & Gas earned more than CAD 820,000, compared to a loss of CAD 1.5 million in the previous year. The company is obviously on the road to success.

    Reduction of production costs

    Last year, Saturn Oil & Gas increased its average daily production from 233 barrels in 2018 to 766. On average, the company achieved a sales price of CAD 65.47 per barrel in 2019 compared to CAD 48.52 in the same period last year. In addition, the company achieved an operating netback of CAD 51.84 per barrel. In the previous year, this figure was CAD 30.22 per barrel, partly due to the low oil price.

    Reserves were expanded

    In 2019, Saturn Oil & Gas drilled 17 successful horizontal wells in the Viking Formation. The costs for the drilling and completion were CAD 17.53 million or an average of CAD 1.03 million per well. Despite the production of crude oil, the total proven and probable reserves (NPV-10) increased from CAD 91.37 million to CAD 111.65 million, representing a value of CAD 0.47 per share. In the stock market, the share price has already recovered to the level of the pre-Covid-19 period and yesterday closed at CAD 0.135 and a market value of CAD 31.67 million. In October 2018 the share was already trading at CAD 0.30.

    Good oil from Canada

    In addition to the positive economic development, the management of Saturn Oil & Gas is also addressing environmental protection issues and placing ESG at the forefront of its activities. Investors who believe that oil will continue to be needed in the coming years for a secure life in a modern society and at the same time want to position themselves in Canada, a country that respects human rights and environmental protection, should take a closer look at the Saturn Oil & Gas share.

    The Dividend Trap: Why RE Royalties Offers Greater Structural Stability Than Petrobras and Maersk

    In times of geopolitical uncertainty and volatile markets, investors seek dependable cash flow. Dividend stocks are often perceived as a safe haven in stormy weather, but appearances can often be deceiving. Investors who focus solely on headline dividend yields frequently ignore the structural risks embedded in the underlying business model. An oil major exposed to political interference or a shipping conglomerate whose earnings fluctuate with freight rate cycles may struggle to sustain dividend commitments over the long term. In this environment, it is worth taking a closer look at the substance. While giants such as Petrobras and AP Moller-Maersk are struggling with cyclical challenges, Canadian niche player RE Royalties has developed a model positioned to benefit from one of the biggest investment waves of our time - while elegantly sidestepping many of the typical industry risks.

    Commodity markets are undergoing a historic turning point. While precious metals are shining as safe havens, the energy transition continues to drive lithium demand. But the real pressure point lies in critical raw materials such as antimony or tungsten, whose supply is extremely strained due to geopolitical conflicts. This fragmentation of the supercycle is creating unique opportunities for strategically positioned companies. Three key players are ready to benefit: Rio Tinto, Globex Mining, and Glencore.

    2025 will once again go down in history as a strong year for the stock market. This is particularly surprising from a German perspective, as the DAX, long considered an underperformer, even outperformed the leading US market with a gain of over 20%. However, anyone who believes that the coming year will be a simple continuation of this trend is likely to be disappointed. Many market observers expect prices to continue rising, buoyed by AI investments, fiscal tailwinds, and robust earnings. At the same time, however, the risks of unexpected turns are growing. High valuations, possible sector rotations, and underestimated asset classes could make 2026 a year in which flexibility is more important than blind optimism.
