Current Analysis: Inpex Corp

Japan Petroleum Exploration: Gains Mostly Driven By Corporate Governance Considerations

Expectations of demand recovery, the likelihood of OPEC and its allies extending oil supply cuts into the second quarter, and the anticipated easing of monetary policies this year boost the energy sector's growth prospects. Therefore, quality energy stocks such as Inpex (IPXHY), Graham (GHM), and MV Oil (MVO) could be solid buys currently trading at good prices. Read on... The energy industry is poised for sustainable growth driven by the stable demand for oil and gas. Although crude oil prices have remained rangebound for a while now, expectations of interest rate cuts this year, the extension of voluntary output cuts by OPEC+, a fast-recovering Chinese economy, and ongoing geopolitical tensions could bolster oil prices in the long term.
Amid this backdrop, investors could consider buying fundamentally strong energy stocks Inpex Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IPXHY/">IPXHY</a>), Graham Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/GHM/">GHM</a>), and MV Oil Trust (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MVO/">MVO</a>). Before exploring the fundamentals of these stocks, let's first understand what's shaping the energy industry's prospects.
Despite the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, OPEC has managed to keep oil prices stable by underutilizing their capacity. OPEC and its allies had extended voluntary supply cuts by <a href="https://apnews.com/article/opec-production-cuts-saudi-arabia-russia-90502ac95a2eed4e8c6d03f9bf9346b9">2.2 million bpd</a> through the end of the second quarter.
With OPEC and its allies set to meet on June 1, many sources expect the group to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/opec-could-extend-oil-cuts-formal-talks-yet-start-sources-say-2024-05-02/">extend the output cuts into the second half of 2024</a>. Extended periods of production cuts by the major oil producers could lead to global supply shocks, thereby boosting prices.
Meanwhile, OPEC anticipates global oil demand to go up <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/opec-sticks-oil-demand-view-sees-potential-economic-upside-2024-05-14/">2.25 million barrels per day (bpd) and 1.85 million bpd</a> in 2024 and 2025, respectively, holding onto its forecasts for solid growth. Moreover, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-set-weekly-gain-signs-improving-demand-2024-05-17/">optimistic economic data from China and the U.S.</a> have bolstered hopes for higher global demand. Additionally, expectations of rate cuts this year could help aid the demand for commodities, especially crude oil.
The global oil and gas market is expected to reach $8.57 trillion by 2030 by exhibiting a <a href="https://www.kingsresearch.com/oil-and-gas-market-177">CAGR of 3.8%</a>. Additionally, rising investments in exploration, production, and refining segments have bolstered the demand for energy services. The global energy as a service market is anticipated to reach $208.20 million by 2032 at an <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/energy-as-a-service-market-101204">11.8% CAGR</a>.
