Shares of oil and gas companies are trading lower after President Trump reiterated a pledge to increase oil production.

Oil prices swung back from early losses Thursday after the Department of Treasury announced fresh sanctions on an international network funneling Iranian crude to China, a move that underscored Washington's ongoing efforts to curb <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43502963/oil-drops-as-traders-doubt-iran-sanctions-trump-bark-is-far-worse-than-his-bite-analyst-says">Tehran's oil revenues.</a>
West Texas Intermediate crude, which is closely tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), briefly rebounded to $71 a barrel by midday trading in New York, erasing earlier declines sparked by renewed hopes of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">US Targets Iran&#8217;s Oil Network</h1>
In a <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0015">press release</a> shared Thursday, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control detailed its latest crackdown, targeting entities and individuals across multiple jurisdictions, including China, India and the United Arab Emirates, for facilitating the shipment of Iranian crude oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The targeted shipments were conducted on behalf of Iran's Armed Forces General Staff and its front company, Sepehr Energy Jahan Nama Pars – Sepehr Energy, according to OFAC.
Iran's oil exports have long been a crucial revenue source, generating billions of dollars annually. The U.S. alleges these funds are used to support Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile development and armed proxy groups across the Middle East.
"The Iranian regime remains focused on leveraging its oil revenues to fund the development of its nuclear program, to produce its deadly ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, and to support its regional terrorist proxy groups," said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. 
"The United States is committed to aggressively targeting any attempt by Iran to secure funding for these malign activities."
The move marks the first concrete action following President Donald Trump&#8216;s memorandum aimed at exerting &#8220;maximum economic pressure&#8221; on Iran. 
According to data shared by Energy Intelligence, Iranian crude exports averaged around 1.7 million barrels per day in 2024 and the bulk of it was directed to China. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Oil Prices Whipsaw on Russia-Ukraine Peace Hopes</h1>
Earlier in the session, crude prices had been under pressure following reports that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump was at an &#8220;advanced stage,&#8221; according to Russian news sources cited by Reuters. 
Investors interpreted the news as a potential step toward de-escalation in Ukraine, leading to a temporary pullback in crude prices as traders reassessed the geopolitical risk premium.
Adding to downward pressure, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-06/russian-oil-falls-back-below-60-price-cap-as-us-sanctions-bite?sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a> reported Russia's flagship Urals crude had fallen below the $60-a-barrel price cap for the first time since December, signaling that U.S. and European sanctions may be curbing Moscow's oil revenues.
Yet, as soon as the U.S. Treasury's Iran sanctions were announced, crude prices reversed their losses, with traders weighing the potential impact on global supply.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Stocks React As Oil Market Volatility Rises</h1>

Oil Prices Trim Losses As Department Of Treasury Issues Sanctions On Iran's Crude Shipments To China

In the current session, the stock is trading at $48.21, after a 0.52% increase. Over the past month, Baker Hughes Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>) stock increased by 11.19%, and in the past year, by 64.73%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<h3>How Does Baker Hughes P/E Compare to Other Companies?</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. 
Baker Hughes has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 37.96 of the Energy Equipment &amp; Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

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.
