7 Energy Stocks Primed for a Q3 Earnings Gusher It’s been a banner year for energy stocks. With oil prices cresting above $120 a barrel and continuing to trade in a range between $85 and $105, energy companies are reaping record profits and issuing incredible earnings. Many energy companies have announced net income that is up more than 3,000% from year-earlier levels. It all amounts to a windfall for an industry that was decimated during the pandemic when oil prices finished 2020 below $50 per barrel. The strong earnings have led to outperformance among energy stocks this year, with many share prices up 25%, 50%, even 100%. Oil stocks have been the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal year for equities. While some analysts continue to debate whether oil prices have peaked, the consensus view is that the earnings of oil companies will remain strong through the remainder of this year. With that in mind, here are seven energy stocks primed for a Q3 earnings gusher.
