3 No-Brainer Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now
Energy stocks remain top of mind among investors. Interestingly enough, it's not just the recent conflict in the Middle East that is piquing interest in this sector. Although geopolitics is in the driver's seat in terms of driving crude oil and natural gas prices higher and lower, other factors are at play, including rising electricity demand driven by the artificial intelligence (AI) data center boom.
There's much to suggest investors may want to increase their exposure to energy stocks, from oil stocks and natural gas stocks to more niche varieties like pipeline stocks and contract drilling stocks. The following three stocks are likely to generate strong total returns: Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE: ET), Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ: FANG), and Transocean (NYSE: RIG).
