Oil Prices Reach Our Midcycle Forecast; Energy Valuations Looking More Attractive
WTI crude plunged 8% on Nov. 12, extending a rout that has wiped off 28% of the benchmark’s value in about six weeks. Front-month futures ended the day at $55/bbl, aligning with our midcycle forecast for the first time since October 2017. The slump has weighed heavily on upstream equities, pushing the stocks of narrow-moat rated industry cost leaders like Diamondback Energy, Pioneer Natural Resources, and Continental Resources into 4-star territory. Among integrated firms, narrow-moat rated Roya...Noble Energy is an independent energy company, engaged in crude oil and natural gas exploration and production.
