We recently published a list of Why These Energy Stocks are Gaining This Week. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX) stands against other energy stocks that are gaining this week.
Despite the ongoing global tariff war and market fluctuations, the broader energy sector has posted gains of around 1.8% since the beginning of the year, against a decline of around 4.6% by the wider market.
Unlike the downturn in oil, things are looking bullish for the natural gas industry. Gas prices have surged by over 150% YoY this week, prompting US producers to increase output after months of curtailments. Curbed production in 2024, a booming LNG industry, and fast-depleting inventories during the coldest winter in years have been the major drivers behind the uptick in prices. Moreover, after President Trump ended the moratorium on new LNG export permits, these prices are set to go even higher.
The amount of gas flowing to the country’s 8 big LNG export plants has risen to an average of 15.7 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) so far in March, up from a record 15.6 bcfd last month, as new units enter into service. Just last week, the US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright approved an LNG export permit extension for the Golden Pass LNG Project, marking yet another step towards bolstering America’s dominance as the global energy leader.
