OPEC Production Is Headed Lower, Not Higher (XLE)

Summary:

  • OPEC production compliance averages 106% since the start according to IEA.
  • Angola’s oil exports hit 10-year lows. This is structural, and not temporary.
  • Alongside accelerating production declines in Venezuela, years of low oil prices are starting to reveal the impact of what happens when you massively cut CapEx.
  • Again, we reiterate – this is not a production cut, but a pullback from max production capacity.

Is It Finally Time To Invest In Energy? (XLE)

Beaten-down sectors provide opportunity

The S&P 500 Index is up about 10% so far this year, but the energy sector is off over 19%.1 Yet, my team believes conditions are ripe for a turnaround in energy.

  • Exploration, production and service company valuations are near historic lows based on our analysis, trading at a price-to-book (P/B) multiple of 0.55. This compares with an average P/B of 0.88 for the sector using data all the way back to 1952.2
  • Many energy companies are currently what we call “under-earners.” In good times, these firms can be cash-generating machines, but the long stretch of low energy prices has resulted in layoffs, dividend cuts, fewer stock buybacks and expense reductions. Once prices rebound a bit and stick, these companies should be even better positioned for growth, in our view.
  • The sector is clearly out of favor and has been for some time. We believe investors are always wise to consider sentiment, but should then dig a little deeper and analyze the trends and facts.
  • After the long period of underperformance, many funds (understandably) lightened up on energy shares and are now underweight.3 At some point, this trend will reverse, and demand for these shares should increase. Also, many investors have taken short positions in energy stocks, and they will have to buy shares in order to settle these positions.
  • Last, energy company capital expenditures (CapEx) are at historically unsustainable levels relative to cash flow.
