energy stocks

Oil company shares

Energy stocks are shares in companies that produce, refine, or distribute energy—primarily oil, gas, and coal, though increasingly including renewable sources like solar and wind.

The sector is closely tied to commodity prices and geopolitical events: Energy stocks surged after OPEC announced production cuts.

Investors often treat energy stocks as a hedge against inflation or a bet on global economic growth.
