Key Insights
WTI oil is trying to settle above the $120 level despite OPEC+ recent decision to increase oil production.
Driving season and the end of lockdowns in China serve as bullish catalysts for oil markets.
Exxon Mobil and Chevron are trading at 11-12 forward P/E and have good chances to continue their current bullish trend.
WTI oil continues its attempts to settle above the $120 level, so energy stocks remain in high demand. Meanwhile, analyst estimates for major oil companies are moving higher, which could provide additional support to oil-related stocks.
Chevron
Analysts expect that Chevron will report earnings of $16.52 per share in 2022 and $14.24 per share in 2023, so the stock is trading at 12 forward P/E.
Chevron is already up by roughly 50% this year, but the stock remains relatively cheap. Analysts estimates for Chevron continue to improve, which is not surprising as WTI oil is trading near the $120 level.
The recent OPEC+ decision to increase production failed to put any material pressure on the oil market which reacts to the end of lockdowns in China. In this light, Chevron stock has a good chance to gain additional upside momentum in the upcoming weeks.
Exxon Mobil
Exxon Mobil is moving towards all-time highs that were reached back in 2014. Currently, the stock is trying to settle above the $100 level.
Analysts expect that the company will report earnings of $8.61 per share in the next year, so the stock is trading at 11 forward P/E, which is a bit cheaper in comparison with Chevron.
High oil prices and investors’ rush into energy-related assets remain the key drivers for Exxon Mobil stock. While Exxon Mobil is already up by about 60% in 2022, it will gain solid upside momentum in case WTI oil settles above the $120 level and moves towards yearly highs near the $130 level.
