Ever since the August of last year, crude oil has been volatile, mainly in a bad way. The price of Brent and WTI was almost $100 per barrel then, the price of the two grades is around $50 per barrel or less now. Crude has halved because of weak macro economic factors and Saudi Arabia deciding to increase production by 1 million barrels a day. The oversupply in the industry is so great that even the strongest companies have seen their stocks do poorly lately. But as the saying goes, with great risk comes great opportunity, and given the steep declines in the values of many energy stocks, opportunity certainly abounds.
Since dividend stocks are generally better bets than most, given the companies’ wider moats, let’s take a closer look at five hedge fund favorites in the energy sector: Noble Corp plc (NYSE:NE), BP plc (ADR) (NYSE:BP), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), and Macquarie Infrastructure Corp (NYSE:MIC), and see how they did in the third quarter.
