President-Elect Trump Says I Will Revoke Offshore Oil, Gas Drilling Ban In Vast Areas On Day One

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Dell Technologies, Transocean, CRH PLC, Teradyne

President Joe Biden intends to ban offshore drilling along most of the U.S. coast before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42813324/trumps-universal-tariff-plans-take-shape-analysts-expect-stronger-for-longer-greenback">leaving the White House</a>.
The Details: Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/06/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-protecting-americas-ocean-and-coasts-from-offshore-oil-and-gas-drilling/">said</a> Monday he will protect more than 625 million acres of the ocean from future offshore oil and gas drilling. This includes the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, the Gulf of Mexico and portions of the Bering Sea.
"My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses, and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation's energy needs," Biden said in the statement.&nbsp;

Biden will use powers given under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act which allows the president to indefinitely withdraw unleased lands from the outer continental shelf.&nbsp; The withdrawal of the lands has no expiration date and President-elect Donald Trump will likely not be able to reverse the protections without an act of Congress.&nbsp;
Trump pledged to increase domestic energy and fossil fuel production during his campaign and Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump Vance transition team, took to social media to speak out against President Biden's decision.&nbsp;
"This is a disgraceful decision designed to exact political revenge on the American people who gave President Trump a mandate to increase drilling and lower gas prices. Rest assured, Joe Biden will fail, and we will drill, baby, drill," Leavitt posted on X.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Biden&#8217;s offshore drilling ban could have significant impacts on several companies in the oil and gas sector.
Companies with offshore operations include Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) and Noble Corp. plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NE#NYSE">NE</a>), which provide contract drilling services. 
Other names to watch in the oil industry include Halliburton Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) and Baker Hughes Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>) which both have modest exposure to the offshore drilling industry. 
The Range Global Offshore Oil Services Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OFOS#NYSE">OFOS</a>) is focused specifically on offshore drilling services. The SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Equipment &amp; Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XES#NYSE">XES</a>) includes companies involved in oil and gas equipment and services.

The financial news frequently emphasizes stocks with heavy insider selling, premised on the assumption that insiders believe the stock is overpriced and that they are taking profits ahead of retail investors. However, most of the time, these sales are part of a previously disclosed plan and disclosed to the SEC months in advance. &nbsp;
This proves the saying that investors have many reasons to sell a stock, but the same is not necessarily true of insider buying. Typically, insiders have only one reason to buy a stock. That is, they believe it&#39;s fundamentally undervalued. &nbsp;
When you combine an undervalued stock with a price below $20, you have a chance for impressive gains. That&#39;s the case with the three stocks on this list. Plus, you can factor in the idea that these are mid-cap stocks that offer more potential for growth than more mature large-cap stocks but remove the risk that can be found in unprofitable small-cap stocks.&nbsp;
<h2>Transocean Is Well-Positioned for a Potential Oil Supercycle &nbsp;</h2>
Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rig#NYSE">RIG</a>) leases rigs and drilling equipment for oil companies. The company&#39;s lease rate directly correlates to the price of oil at the time the contracts are originated. RIG stock is trading at $4.26 as of October 11, 2024.
However, even with a consensus Hold rating, analysts are forecasting a price of $6.88, which offers a 61% upside.&nbsp;
An insider has bought shares on two separate occasions since its second-quarter earnings report in July. The transactions amounted to $3.5 million shares of RIG stock. &nbsp;
But why should you believe the insiders? First, the macroeconomic picture is favorable. The Federal Reserve started its interest rate cutting cycle with an aggressive 50-basis point cut in September. Energy stocks are expected to benefit as lower rates tend to stimulate business activity which is generally bullish for oil.&nbsp;
Second, the company signed two high-value contracts which will have over 90% of its fleet committed through 2025. And the company is well-positioned for more contracts if offshore drilling projects become less regulated in 2025.&nbsp;
<h2>Crescent Energy Nears 52-Week High and New Highs Could Be Ahead&nbsp;</h2>
Another mid-cap stock in the energy sector is Crescent Energy Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crgy#NYSE">CRGY</a>). The company has a different way of playing the energy sector because its business model focuses on acquiring resources rather than developing them. Its portfolio is heavily concentrated in the Eagle Ford and Uinta Basins. &nbsp;
Since the company&#39;s second-quarter earnings report in August, different executives and insiders have purchased CRGY stock on four separate occasions. &nbsp;
The purchases seem well timed, as the stock was up 31% in the month ending October 11 and is nearing its 52-week high. The short-term catalyst for the stock is its inclusion in the S&amp;P SmallCap 600 index, which usually brings with it a flurry of buying from institutional investors whose funds use the index as a benchmark. &nbsp;
That said, the longer-term catalyst for CRGY stock is similar to that of other oil companies: a resurgence in oil prices due to increased drilling activity in 2025 and beyond. Analysts give the stock a $16.20 price target, which offers investors a 20% upside. &nbsp;
<h2>Forget the Robo Taxi; Mobileye May Be a Better Short-Term Buy&nbsp;</h2>
When combing through the list of stocks with heavy insider buying on MarketBeat, Mobileye Global Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mbly#NASDAQ">MBLY</a>) instantly caught my eye. The company, which is partially owned by Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intc#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), is a leader in autonomous driving technology.
The company&#39;s EyeQ chips power Mobileye&#39;s flagship SuperVision platform, consisting of 11 cameras and autonomous vehicle maps that grow smarter over time.&nbsp;
MBLY stock went public in October 2022. The meme stock movement was over at that point, but for about a year, Mobileye delivered an impressive return for investors. It&#39;s been a long fall from that point. In fact, the stock is down over 72% in 2024.&nbsp;The&nbsp;Mobileye analyst forecasts on MarketBeat show the stock with three uncomfortable sell&nbsp;ratings. &nbsp;
Still, the stock has a consensus Hold and a $26.85 price target, which provides an upside of over 107%. Autonomous driving may still be years away (the Robo Taxi isn&#39;t set for production until 2027), but no matter who wins the White House, the move towards non-carbon transportation is not slowing down. &nbsp;

Oil prices took a sharp dive on Tuesday, tumbling over 5% in morning trading in New York, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East slightly eased after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly pledged that Iran's crude oil infrastructure would be spared from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41321699/oil-prices-drop-after-netanyahu-says-israel-will-attack-military-not-oil-or-nuclear-targets-in-iran">any potential retaliatory strikes. </a>
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, the U.S. benchmark, tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), nosedived to $70 per barrel, down more than 5% as of 10 a.m. ET. This marks the steepest one-day decline in over a year.
The selloff followed a Monday report from The Washington Post that said that Netanyahu assured the Biden administration that Israel would avoid targeting Iranian oil and nuclear facilities in any retaliatory military actions.
The assurance suggested a narrower scope of potential conflict, reducing fears of widespread supply shocks in the global oil market.
Market analysts had previously warned that an Israeli strike on Iran&#8217;s oil infrastructure could send crude prices skyrocketing by $20 per barrel, highlighting concerns that Tehran would retaliate by attacking oil installations throughout the Gulf region, potentially triggering a broader energy crisis.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Sector Tanks: US Oil Giants Lead Declines</h3>
The immediate reaction in the markets was swift: U.S. energy stocks plunged, while airlines and cruise lines — typically sensitive to fuel prices — enjoyed a sharp relief rally.
The energy sector was one of the biggest losers on the day. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), which tracks major U.S. energy companies, slid 2.8%, setting up for its worst day since late April. 
АРА Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>), Diamondback Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>) and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>) were the worst performers within the XLE ETF, with declines of about 4%.
Companies involved in upstream exploration and production were hit even harder, with the SPDR S&amp;P Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOP#NYSE">XOP</a>) falling 3.1%. Talos Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TALO#NYSE">TALO</a>), Kosmos Energy Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOS#NYSE">KOS</a>) and Crescent Energy Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRGY#NYSE">CRGY</a>) each tumbled by over 4%. 
Downstream oil service providers also struggled, with the VanEck Oil Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OIH#NYSE">OIH</a>) dropping 3.6%. Major oilfield services companies like Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) and Halliburton Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) both fell about 3%, while Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>) underperformed, down 5%. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Airlines And Cruise Lines Rally: Lower Fuel Costs, Strong Earnings Expectations Lift Sentiment</h3>
While energy stocks suffered, sectors reliant on cheaper fuel prices thrived. Airlines and cruise lines, in particular, were among the best performers within the S&amp;P 500 as the prospect of lower oil prices offered some relief.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) surged 4.3%, while Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) jumped 5.3%. 
Goldman Sachs recently raised its price target on Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) from $195 to $220, anticipating strong earnings momentum. Similarly, NCLH saw its price target lifted from $22 to $24.
In the airline space, American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>) rallied 3.5%, United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) gained 1.2%, reaching its highest level since February 2020, and Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUV#NYSE">LUV</a>) rose 1.3%.
