3 Top Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now
Energy stocks have had an up and down year, mainly due to the continued volatility in oil and gas prices. Overall, the average energy stock is only up marginally this year, given the roughly 4% rise in the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF. That index has vastly underperformed the red-hot S&P 500, which is up more than 25% year to date.
Because of that relative underperformance, several energy stocks look like compelling bargain buys right now since they're thriving in the current market environment. The three top options are oil giant ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), MLP Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD), and utility Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK). Here's why this trio stands out.
