On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said QXO, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QXO#NYSE">QXO</a>) can go higher. &#8220;Because it's Brad Jacobs [Chairperson of QXO].

In the current session, ONEOK Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) is trading at $79.42, after a 1.56% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 2.85%, and in the past year, by 0.15%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748613631_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing ONEOK P/E Against 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 76.87 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, ONEOK Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 15.76. 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/2025/1748613631_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.

Dividends

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Energy Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

ONEOK's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.30 million shares sold short, which is 1.86% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.9 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

<h3>ONEOK Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747321232_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for ONEOK has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing ONEOK'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>, ONEOK's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.61%, which means the company has less 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>

Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of oil after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs. The commodity may be experiencing strength amid escalating conflict between Pakistan and India.

Citigroup analyst Spiro Dounis maintains ONEOK (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $110 to $102.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on ONEOK, Lowers Price Target to $102

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.
APA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APA#NASDAQ">APA</a>), ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>), and Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) each fell by about 3%.

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

Shares of energy stocks are trading lower amid a drop in the price of oil. Oil fell on reports suggesting OPEC+ agreed to production increases in June.

Oil and gas midstream firm Oneok (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKE#NYSE">OKE</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OKE/earnings">released earnings</a> on Wednesday and the response was mixed. Shares have now dropped to near multi-year lows.
A long base could be in store for this stock before it holds structure and breaks upwards again.
That leads me to consider a leap call butterfly options trade to profit from this setup.
Here&#8217;s how you set this trade up for maximum gain.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Long Call Butterfly Leap Explained&nbsp;</h2>
A long call butterfly is the combination of a long call spread and a short call spread, where both share the same short strike and the same expiration date. The term &#8220;leap&#8221; means that we position the option well into the future, using a bullish position that gives us time to wait out the sideways churn ahead. 
The beauty of a leap butterfly is that time decay becomes largely irrelevant, so we can wait out the noisy bits in the market as we recover.&nbsp;
Here are the trade details, positioned for upside:
<ul>
<li>Buy to open 1 OKE 20Mar 2026 80 calls </li>
<li>Sell to open 2 OKE 20Mar 2026 100 calls </li>
<li>Buy to open 1 OKE 20Mar 2026 120 calls </li>
</ul>
The long call butterfly holds a current debit of $4.90 at the time of writing, which represents the total risk incurred in the trade. The breakeven price of the stock at expiration on this trade is $84.90.
The total highest potential profit is $20 (the distance between 80 and 100) less the cost of the debit incurred by buying the call butterfly, so: $20 &#8211; $4.90 = $15.10 (less commissions).&nbsp;
Note that it&#8217;s extremely rare to collect all this premium on a butterfly of this kind. Instead, I like to consider 40%-90% profit of the longer-term investment. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ONEOK Key Chart Levels</h2>
Oneok&#8217;s relative resistance zone sits around $105, as I write this, but trading could be choppy for many months due to market uncertainty at this level. Set an alert for prices near this middle strike so that you are aware of the motion into the middle strike, as this is where the maximum profit will engage into expiration.
You will also notice that price action is less sensitive to fluctuation the further we are from expiration. The stock&#8217;s support sits near $70.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trade Management</h2>
This strategy provides several ways to exit the trade, but I will discuss the two main ones:
<ol>
<li>You can sell the call butterfly when the profit goal moves into your target parameters, particularly once the middle strike is tested near the expiration time. I often look for a 40%-90% return for these types of call butterflies with strikes deep in the money. </li>
<li>To sell the call butterfly when your loss threshold is breached. Customarily, this is 50% for me. </li>
</ol>
More advanced traders might consider rolling the short strikes down over time if the price continues to go up.
