And given the industry’s momentum, we think undervalued stocks APA Corporation (APA), Subsea 7 (OTC:SUBCY), Whiting Petroleum (NYSE:WLL), and Berry Corporation (BRY) might be good additions to one’s portfolio. These stocks are rated ‘Buy’ in our proprietary rating system. Read on.Crude oil and natural gas prices are experiencing a remarkable rally, driven by rising demand from a reopening economy and tight supply. Oil prices hit multi-year highs on October 18, with Brent crude oil futures hitting $85.45 per barrel, while the United States West Texas intermediate (WTI) reached $83.18 per barrel. And oil prices could rise further if OPEC sticks to its tight supply policy. Hence, analysts expect oil prices to hit $100 per barrel.
Furthermore, the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects natural gas spot prices at the benchmark Henry Hub to average $5.67 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) between October and March, representing the highest prices since the 2007-2008 period.
