'Drill, baby, drill' should allow US to 'keep a lid' on oil prices

Oil (CL=F, BZ=F) prices are decreasing, with Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Shell (SHEL) shares ticking down as they respectively cite narrowing refining margins and slowing natural gas (NG=F) sales. On Market Domination, Tortoise senior portfolio manager and managing director Rob Thummel discusses the valuation of top energy companies while addressing the mantra behind Republican leaders and President-elect Donald Trump's stance on US oil, better known as "Drill, baby, drill." "We have a significant amount of reserves across the US. And so what? Drill, baby drill means to me is that when we need it, we'll be able to drill more and produce more," Thummel explains. "But the goal will be to keep inflation moderated, and keep oil and natural gas prices at moderate levels so that they just don't get out of control." Thummel also highlights that geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran under a Trump 2.0 administration could put a further strain on oil pricing: “If you sanction Iran then and actually apply the sanctions, you're going to have a basically less oil supply because the result will be lower exports of crude oil from Iran — which basically takes supply off of the market."

Biden’s oil, gas offshore drilling ban faces a Trump reversal

President Biden’s offshore oil (CL=F, BZ=F) and gas (NG=F) drilling ban challenges President-elect Donald Trump’s energy agenda. Now, a reversal could take years, Clear Street Senior Research Analyst Tim Moore tells Market Domination hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton. After seeing the sector underperform, Moore says oil and gas stocks are expected to surge in 2025 due to regulatory easing under a second Trump administration. "They [the Trump administration will] remove a lot of red tape. We expect that will... bring out some new drilling projects on lands," Moore explains. "And we also want to emphasize the Trump administration has come out with rhetoric and statements that... they want to secure energy. They want the US to be the leader in production and development of oil and gas in the whole world." Moore also highlights solar energy as a key growth area, with a company like Sunrun (RUN) as a top pick for him.

2025 is a 'big year for nuclear': Why Vistra and Talen are top picks

Constellation Energy (CEG) is in focus after the company secured a $1 billion government contract to supply power to numerous governement agencies. The record-setting deal comes as Big Tech companies turn to nuclear energy to power artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. Jefferies managing director of US power, utilities, and clean energy research Paul Zimbardo joins Catalysts with Seana Smith and Madison Mills to discuss his outlook for the nuclear energy space in 2025. "I think 2025 is going to be a big year for nuclear, both [for] existing nuclear as well as new nuclear," Zimbardo says, explaining, "And it comes back to a topic that we've been following closely. It's just the power demand from data centers, and AI is accelerating." The analyst says related stocks still have room to run, with Vistra (VST) and Talen Energy (TLN) as his top picks. While there may be some concerns among investors that President-elect Donald Trump's policies could be negative for nuclear energy, Zimbardo notes the nuclear shift comes from the necessity for more power for AI data centers. "There's no real options besides the existing nuclear plant. If you want to add your data centers in the next five to seven years." Zimbardo expects hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Meta Platforms (META) to continue to acquire nuclear power as well as "all of the players in large size as well." Catch Yahoo Finance's full interview with Goldman Sachs' Carly Davenport on the role regulated utilities will have in building out the energy infrastructure for AI data centers.

Regulated utilities positioned to drive AI infrastructure expansion

Vistra (VST) and Constellation Energy (CEG) saw massive gains in 2024 as the next phase of the so-called AI Revolution looks to build out the infrastructure for data centers, starting with an energy grid capable of supplying and powering them. "As we think about this theme, there's so much investment that's going to be needed to prepare a system that hasn't seen power demand growth in over a decade, to be able to actually connect all of these facilities to the grid," Carly Davenport, Goldman Sachs Vice President in Global Investment Research covering US utilities (XLU), tells Madison Mills on Catalysts. "So we think the regulated utilities are very well positioned to do that, and we think it's going to drive an expansion in their capital investment." Davenport also speaks about investment opportunities seen in NextEra Energy (NEE) and the potential for nuclear energy to power the AI infrastructure set up by President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
