Repsol SA

Repsol SA (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/repyy#OTC">REPYY</a>) could be a solid addition to your portfolio given its recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). An upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices -- has triggered this rating change.
A company&#39;s changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
As such, the Zacks rating upgrade for Repsol is essentially a positive comment on its earnings outlook that could have a favorable impact on its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. The influence of institutional investors has a partial contribution to this relationship, as these big professionals use earnings and earnings estimates to calculate the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Repsol imply an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for Repsol
For the fiscal year ending December 2024, this company is expected to earn $3.57 per share, which is a change of -15.2% from the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Repsol. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of Repsol to a Zacks Rank #2 positions it in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.

All You Need to Know About Repsol Rating Upgrade to Buy

Oil prices had their strongest session in over two months Tuesday, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude climbing 2% to $80 a barrel, and Brent crude rising 1.7%<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil"> to $84 a barrel.</a>
The surge in prices is attributed to the anticipation of increased demand with the start of the driving season and ongoing supply constraints. The market expects that OPEC+ will maintain its voluntary output cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day into the second half of the year during its upcoming June 2 meeting. 
The United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), which tracks the WTI price, rose 3%, factoring in Monday&#8217;s oil performance while U.S. markets were closed for Memorial Day.
Energy stocks also rallied, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) up 1%, outperforming all other S&amp;P 500 sectors.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Raises Long-Term Oil Demand Outlook</h3>
Goldman Sachs has revised its long-term global crude demand forecast upward, projecting continued growth until 2034, after which it expects oil consumption to plateau.
&#8220;Peak oil demand is still a decade away,&#8221; Goldman analysts said in a report. Goldman Sachs now forecasts global oil demand to reach 108.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) by 2030, up from a previous estimate of 106 mb/d. The firm predicts peak demand around 2034 at approximately 110 mb/d, followed by a flat trend to 2040.
&#8220;Our view is more bullish than the IEA, which assessed that oil demand peaks before 2030,&#8221; Goldman Sachs said. 
The investment bank foresees a potential scenario where oil demand could even rise to about 113 mb/d by 2040, driven by a slower transition to electric vehicles.
&#8220;The EV market is facing a few headwinds,&#8221; analysts said. 
&#8220;EV subsidies are being cut in several European markets, and continued price competition has led to profit pressure for OEMs and a slower pace of new EV investments. Our Auto team thinks our EV slow-adoption scenario, which predicts a pause this year in EV sales penetration increase, has become more realistic.&#8221;
Goldman Sachs said capital expenditure on crude oil production is slowing, contributing to medium-term supply constraints across the oil value chain.
Goldman Sachs named 23 Buy- and Sell-rated stocks across the energy sector to reflect its long-term views on the oil market.

Reflecting the world&rsquo;s uncertainty about the U.S. economy, the market&rsquo;s major indices saw incredible volatility in May.&nbsp;
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track major indices tell this story with relative clarity. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, reached a high of $429.66 and hit a low of $380.54 in May before closing at $412.93. The Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar erratic behavior.&nbsp;
Despite the volatility of the market, OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>)&rsquo;s regulated markets&nbsp; experienced a steady increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $44.5 billion in May compared to $40.6 billion in April. Additionally, the operator saw a former OTCQB Venture Market security springboard onto the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s List of 10 Most Active Securities in the same month it <a href="https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/otc-markets-group-welcomes-sprott-physical-uranium-trust-to-otcqx">upgraded</a> from the OTCQB. .&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained significant international presence, recording a total of 39 international operators among the top most-traded securities in each market.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities Welcomes New Faces</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $11 billion in trading volume in May, an increase from April&rsquo;s $10.5 billion figure.&nbsp;
Retaining their spots as first-, second- and third-most traded securities on the OTCQX Best Market are&nbsp; Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
The OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in May, welcoming AXA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>), Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and OTCQB graduate Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>). Having been the most-traded security on the OTCQB Venture Market last month, Sprott was the ninth most-traded security on the OTCQX just one month later.
International operators, once again, maintain a strong presence on OTCQX composing 24 of the top 30 securities, up from 21 in April. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Norway&rsquo;s Norsk Hydro ASA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nhydy#OTCQX">NHYDY</a>) and Ireland&rsquo;s Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) made it among May&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Royal DSM NV (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdsmy#OTCQX">RDSMY</a>) claimed 15th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>

</ul>

<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes A New Leading Company As Sprott Graduates To The OTCQX</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $896 million in trading volume in May, a decline from April&rsquo;s $1.1 billion figure.&nbsp;
May introduced three new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Government services operator Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and portfolio management company Phoenix Rising Co. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prcx#OTCQB">PRCX</a>) represent the new faces on the block.
Newness seemed almost a theme in the OTCQB Venture Market in May. In addition to three new faces, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed with Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) taking positions as first, second and third most traded, respectively.
Fifteen international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 15 securities, nine are Canadian, three are Australian, one is English, one is South African and one is Swiss.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Crimson Wine Group Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cwgl#OTCQB">CWGL</a>) climbed to 24th place in the most-active group and recorded a $2.3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Valour Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deftf#OTCQB">DEFTF</a>) &mdash; formerly DeFi Technologies &mdash; experienced a $1.8 million increase in trading volume compared to March, climbing to 28th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

The OTC Markets' Most-Active Securities Embrace International Operators As Volatility Envelops Markets In May

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought about unprecedented macroeconomic challenges and greatly impacted the business operations and financial performance of domestic and international companies.
During Q1 2020, increased market volatility resulted in an immediate decline in global markets which was soon followed by a rebound in performance during the latter half of the year.
Companies quickly learned to adapt their investor relations strategies to reinvent the way in which they conducted business &mdash; exploring alternative communication channels and seeking more efficient ways to maintain shareholder value in the wake of uncertainty and market volatility.
<h3>Adding Value To Shareholders</h3>
Increasing shareholder value is a universal goal and top priority for investor relations teams.
In the paper, &ldquo;<a href="https://www.otcmarkets.com/files/OTCQX_Investor_Relations_Key_in_a_Pandemic.pdf" target="_blank">OTCQX: Investor Relations Key In a Pandemic</a>,&rdquo; OTC Markets and Oxford Metrica studied the quantifiable impact of an international company&rsquo;s shareholder value after joining the OTCQX Market. Data showed that, on average, 128 basis points of value were created for shareholders 80 days after joining OTCQX.&nbsp;
It was hypothesized that the rise in value may be a result of the increased transparency, disclosure requirements, and corporate governance practices required by OTCQX. Combined, these factors signal a positive response in the issuer&rsquo;s home market, thus leading to an increase in shareholder value.
Home to 450 international and U.S. companies, OTCQX, the premium trading tier, can provide the tools issuers need to maintain, if not, increase shareholder value during a market crisis. The OTCQX Market provides international companies with a cost-effective platform for investor relations teams to more easily and effectively communicate with U.S. shareholders.&nbsp;
Notable companies traded on OTCQX include Roche Holdings (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhbf#OTCQX">RHHBF</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhvf#OTCQX">RHHVF</a>), Adidas (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adddf#OTCQX">ADDDF</a>), Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gpdnf#OTCQX">GPDNF</a>), Repsol (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/repyy#OTCQX">REPYY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/repyf#OTCQX">REPYF</a>), and BNP Paribas (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqf#OTCQX">BNPQF</a>).
<h3>Effective Communication With Shareholders</h3>
As a general rule, communication is a key component of any financial relationship. And this rule is just as prevalent when discussing the relationship between management and shareholders, especially during times of economic uncertainty.
The transparency and disclosure inherent in the OTCQX Market gives international companies the ability to provide U.S. shareholders with comprehensive financial and market information on the company. Additionally, through OTC Markets Group&rsquo;s Virtual Investor Conferences, international companies trading on OTCQX have an opportunity to utilize an interactive intermediary online platform to engage with U.S. investors.&nbsp;
Occurring 1-3 times per month, these remote conferences provide international companies with an additional forum and communications channel to address a larger number of U.S. investors.
<h3>Providing An Efficient &amp; Cost-Effective Solution</h3>
OTCQX offers companies a less complex, more efficient, and cost-effective market for an international corporations&rsquo; shares to be traded in the U.S. In comparison to a full listing on a U.S. national exchange, OTCQX offers an annual reduction ranging from $1-$2 million per annum.
Companies are also able to avoid the complex, onerous, and costly U.S. regulatory and exchange requirements of the national exchanges. In comparison, the OTCQX offers an alternative ‒ a premium SEC-recognized established public market that is the right fit to help international companies maintain their U.S. trading position during a crisis.&nbsp;
