Oil is on track for its strongest weekly rally in nearly three years as traders brace for a possible supply crunch after Israel launched major airstrikes against Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure, reigniting fears of broader conflict <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/middle-east">in the Middle East.</a> 
West Texas Intermediate crude futures briefly spiked as high as $77.50 per barrel during the Asian session before easing to $73 by 8:00 a.m. in New York, still 7% above Thursday&#8217;s close. 
For the week, oil prices – as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) &#8211; have risen by nearly 13%, their largest weekly gain since October 2022.
U.S. gasoline futures were up 4% on Friday to $2.21 a gallon, heading for the strongest weekly rally in three months.
The Israeli strikes killed top Iranian military officials and targeted critical installations, including nuclear and ballistic missile sites, raising the specter of retaliatory moves that could disrupt vital oil flows in the region.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How High Could Oil Go? ING Analyst Sees $120 Risk Scenario</h2>
Warren Patterson, head of commodity strategy at ING, said Iran's role in the global oil market makes the situation highly sensitive. 
"Iran is a meaningful oil producer, pumping 3.3 million barrels per day and exporting around 1.7 million," he said in a research report Friday.
Patterson said disruptions could hit the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime chokepoint that handles nearly one-third of global seaborne crude shipments, in a scenario of continued escalation.
"It still leaves roughly 14 million barrels per day of oil supply at risk," he said, noting that a serious disruption could push prices to $120 per barrel.
He added that Brent crude could test its all-time high of nearly $150 per barrel if disruptions persist toward year-end.
"The renewed standoff between the two countries risks spiraling into a wider conflict," said Alejandro Cuadrado, a strategist at BBVA. He said the volatility spike in oil may spill over into other markets over the weekend.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>) advanced 4.68%.

Shraes of energy stocks are trading higher following Israel's strikes on Iran, which have raised oil prices amid potential disruptions in production.

APA's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NYSE">APA</a>) short percent of float has risen 12.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 40.45 million shares sold short, which is 12.76% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for APA has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing APA's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, APA's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.05%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Evaluating APA P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 20.58 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, APA Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 6.04. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748361628_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>APA P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 19.15 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, APA Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 6.82. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746716422_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Earnings Scheduled For May 7, 2025

West Texas Intermediate crude prices rebounded sharply on Tuesday, surging more than 3.6% to $59.10 per barrel by 10:00 a.m. ET, as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities">East rattled energy markets</a>.
The rally came after Israeli fighter jets launched a wave of airstrikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled infrastructure, including Sanaa International Airport, in retaliation for recent missile and drone attacks on Ben Gurion Airport that left several injured.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">War Tensions Reverse Monday's Oil Slump</h3>
The sharp rebound in oil fully reversed Monday's losses, which had been triggered by OPEC+'s decision to increase output by 411,000 barrels per day starting in June, a move that prompted Goldman Sachs to slash<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45198741/goldman-sachs-issues-bearish-40-oil-forecast-as-opec-pumps-more-energy-stocks-sink"> its oil price forecasts.</a>
But the latest developments out of the Middle East have shifted the narrative quickly, as traders reassess supply risk in a region crucial to global oil flows.
In a statement on social media X, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck terrorist infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthi regime, including power plants and logistics hubs exploited for weapons transfers and tunnel construction. 
The IDF emphasized it took steps to mitigate harm to civilians, adding, "The IDF is determined to continue operating—at any distance—against all threats posed to the citizens of the State of Israel."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks Show Muted Response</h3>
Despite the spike in crude prices, U.S. energy stocks remained broadly flat, reflecting a degree of investor caution following Monday's rout and continued uncertainty surrounding OPEC+ policy and global demand.
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) edged up just 0.1% following a 1.8% slump a day earlier. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) gained 1% and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) rose 0.2%.
Top performers within the XLE ETF included:
<ul>
<li>APA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>) up 1.3%</li>
<li>Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) up 1.9%</li>
<li>ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) up 2.2%</li>

Oil Soars Above $59 As Middle East Airstrikes Jolt Markets

Crude prices fell sharply after OPEC+ surprised markets with a bigger-than-expected production hike. This prompted Goldman Sachs to slash its oil price outlook and triggered a selloff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy-stocks-pre-market-movers">in U.S. energy stocks.</a>
In a note shared Monday, Goldman Sachs commodity analyst Daan Struyven said the bank lowered its oil price forecast by $2 to $3, projecting Brent and WTI to average $60 and $56, respectively, for the rest of 2025, and $56 and $52 in 2026. 
"Our key conviction remains that high spare capacity and high recession risk skew the risks to oil prices to the downside despite relatively tight spot fundamentals," Struyven said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Prompted The Oil Selloff?</h3>
West Texas Intermediate futures opened at $55.36 per barrel Sunday evening in New York before recovering slightly to $57.10 by early Monday morning.
The drop was fueled by OPEC+'s Saturday decision to increase production by 411,000 barrels per day starting in June, a level in line with Goldman's base-case scenario. 
According to the note, the move likely reflects a combination of low oil inventories due to underproduction in Venezuela and the U.S. shale patch, as well as a push to bring laggard members like Iraq and Kazakhstan back in line with output targets. 
"The new baseline size of production increases is likely 0.41mb/d (million barrels per day)," Goldman said, projecting another similar hike in July.
Reuters reported that five OPEC+ sources suggested additional 411,000 bpd increases in August, September and October could follow if compliance issues persist. Although not confirmed by official OPEC channels, the market appeared to take this guidance seriously.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brent Could Slide To $40 by 2026 In Bearish Scenario</h3>
Goldman models a steep downside scenario if production continues ramping while the economy slows. 
If the 2.2 million barrels per day in cuts are fully reversed through 0.41 mb/d monthly hikes, Brent crude could drop to the high $40s by late 2026 and WTI to the mid-$40s.
In a global recession, Brent could plunge to $40 and WTI to the high $30s.
While this outcome is less likely, Goldman said, the risk profile is skewed toward the downside given ample spare capacity and the possibility of further supply increases.
Despite this bearish tilt, the bank still recommends hedging downside risk using structured options strategies. It maintains a June 2026 Brent three-way position: selling a $75 call to fund a 55/45 put spread.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks Drop As Crude Slides</h3>
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) fell 1.3% Monday as oil stocks responded swiftly to the OPEC+ announcement.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) dropped 1.9% and 1.7%, respectively.

Goldman Sachs Issues Bearish $40 Oil Forecast As OPEC+ Pumps More: Energy Stocks Sink

The U.S. stock market staged a stunning one-month rebound, fully erasing the losses triggered by Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">April 2 tariff announcements.</a>
From its April low of 4,835 points, the S&amp;P 500—tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)—has surged 17.5%, logging nine consecutive sessions of gains through Friday, the longest winning streak since May 2024.
Still, the rally has been far from uniform across sectors.
The sectoral rebound since April has been powerful, but only a handful of sectors have managed to fully recover to or exceed their April 2 levels, before Trump&#8217;s tariff announcements triggered a broad selloff.
Technology led the charge, surging 25.9% since the April low and now stands 3.8% above its April 2 level, the strongest full recovery among all major sectors.
Industrials and Utilities also climbed 1.8% and 1% above their early-April levels, respectively.
Sectors like Consumer Discretionary , Communication Services, Financials, Consumer Staples, and Real Estate posted strong double-digit rebounds off April lows—ranging from 8.3% to 18.9%— finally reaching April 2 levels without breaching them.
On the other end of the spectrum, Energy remains 13.4% below its April 2 level, making it the worst laggard. Health Care is still down 4% from early April, even after recovering 7.2%. Materials also underperformed, ending the period 1.9% below its pre-tariff announcement level.

Wall Street Roars Back From April Tariff Sell-Off: Which Sectors Are Still Underwater?

So much for &#8220;drill, baby, drill.&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The energy sector</a> is drilling all right &#8211; straight into red territory.
Down a bruising 11.47% over the past month, Energy, as tracked by the SPDR Energy Select ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>), has officially become the worst-performing sector in the S&amp;P 500. And investors have Donald Trump's tariffs &#8211; and falling oil prices &#8211; to thank.
For perspective, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) is down just 0.91% over the past month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chevron, Halliburton, Occidental Down Over 15%</h2>
While the broader market treaded water, energy names went into free fall. Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) shed over 16.73% this month, Halliburton Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HAL#NYSE">HAL</a>) crashed 19.16% and Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) nosedived 18.25%.
APA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>) is off a staggering 22.74%. Even shale poster child Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) fell 16.31%. The carnage is deep and widespread.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brutal Blow To Trump&#8217;s Energy Dominance Agenda</h2>
The culprit? A toxic mix of plummeting crude prices &#8211; U.S. oil has slid below $65 &#8211; and trade policy uncertainty. Tariffs are rattling supply chains and investor confidence. Oilfield giants like Baker Hughes, SLB, and Halliburton have already warned of slowing investment in exploration and drilling, forecasting double-digit drops in North American activity, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/oil-companies-that-trump-wants-to-drill-baby-drill-take-a-beating.html">reported</a> CNBC. 
And they're not shy about pointing fingers. "Tariffs are causing economic uncertainty," Schlumberger NV's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) CEO Olivier Le Peuch said last week. Baker Hughes Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>) added that rising tariffs could slice as much as $200 million from earnings.
It's a brutal blow to Trump's energy dominance agenda, which had sought to unleash America's oil might.
But with investors now prioritizing capital discipline and waiting for clearer policy signals, that plan might be on pause. As one American Petroleum Institute analyst put it, the industry's most-used word lately? "Uncertainty." For now, it's the one thing Trump's energy push is producing in abundance.
