Brent crude prices rose over the $65-per-barrel level on Monday before retreating slightly, supported by changing geopolitical currents and guarded optimism in the equity markets. The rally in Brent crude, triggered by renewed US-Iran diplomacy and a partial lull in trade war hostilities, brought <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">energy-themed ETFs</a> back into focus, despite lingering concerns about oversupply and weakening global demand.

Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)
The broadest energy equity benchmark in the U.S., XLE, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">picked up steam as oil rose</a>. With heavyweights like ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) in its portfolio, the fund reflects crude benchmarks. Its exposure to oil majors with strong dividend yields also makes it a popular bet during periods of geopolitical realignment — such as the Oman negotiations that could remake Gulf oil diplomacy.
iShares U.S. Oil &amp; Gas Exploration &amp; Production ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEO#BATS">IEO</a>)
IEO targets exploration and production companies — the most oil-price-sensitive sub-sector. The slight rebound in Brent, driven by the White House&#8217;s brief reprieve from tariffs on technology products and optimism for resumed Middle East diplomacy, has lent new life to small- and mid-cap E&amp;P stocks. ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) is one of its top holdings. However, the rally might be fleeting, with OPEC lowering its growth and lowering demand projections for oil consumption. Reuters reported that OPEC has lowered its world economic growth forecast this year to 3.0% from 3.1% and cut next year&#8217;s to 3.1% from 3.2%. 
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>)
Oilfield service companies, like those held in XES, are often the last to reap the benefits of higher prices because of capital spending cycles. The shock OPEC+ cut to accelerate output recovery might trigger upstream activity, indirectly benefiting service providers like Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDW#NYSE">TDW</a>) and Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIG#NYSE">RIG</a>), one of this fund&#8217;s top holdings.
A Diplomatic Thaw
The weekend witnessed a thaw in US-Iran<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-steady-trump-tariff-reprieve-223603774.html"> relations as senior officials</a> from both countries held talks in Oman — the first senior-level meeting since 2022. While information is still limited, the tone of the conversation was said to be &#8220;constructive,&#8221; hinting at a possible blueprint to restart stalled talks on Tehran&#8217;s nuclear program. The two sides committed to another meeting, injecting new optimism into a region long influenced by volatility and oil market instability.
Though a long-term deal is far from certain, even the potential for diplomatic breakthrough has moderated concerns about supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil flows. Meanwhile, it also raised questions about whether Iranian crude oil might return to the market in significant quantities, making an already tenuous supply-demand balance even more complicated.
The Bigger Picture
The oil price rally, though propelled by newsworthy catalysts such as tariff delays and diplomatic talks, is confronted with structural headwinds. Nevertheless, ETF investors seem to be content to ride the volatility, particularly with equities mounting a parallel rebound and safe-haven assets lagging.
Investors are now focusing keenly on rig count trends and Q2 CapEx releases to assess the real-world effect of the Brent bounce. According to recent data by the Energy Information Administration, Baker Hughes found that for the week ending April 1, the natural gas rig count dropped to 96 rigs from 103 rigs in the prior week. Typically, lower rigs mean tightened supply, which in turn means upward pressure on oil prices.
On the other hand, banks slashed their price forecasts, with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. now seeing Brent at $66 this year and Goldman Sachs expecting an average of $63, as the crude market continues to be poised to encounter substantial surpluses.
While the geopolitical board game is still unfolding, energy ETFs are an on-again, off-again — albeit volatile — strategy on oil&#8217;s journey through 2025.

In the current market session, Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDW#NYSE">TDW</a>) price is at $35.34, after a 4.93% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 12.55%, and in the past year, by 62.26%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Tidewater P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 16.87 in the Energy Equipment &amp; Services industry, Tidewater Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.91. 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/2025/1744408820_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.

Price Target

Evercore ISI Group Downgrades Tidewater to In-Line, Lowers Price Target to $68

As we move into the New Year, it is a good time to revisit what we do and do not know about insider trading.
We know that corporate officers&#8217; and directors&#8217; trading has to be revealed to the public via a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We know that, in most cases, insider buying is far more informative than insider selling. Most insider selling reveals very little real information, as there are dozens of reasons for insiders to be cashing in stocks, most of which have little to do with business prospects.
The exception to this rule is when we see clusters of insiders or large sales by top executives at or near 52-week lows. This always needs to be investigated, as the odds of several executives having a personal cash need when the stock is in a downtrend are pretty slim.
We know that insiders buy stocks for only one reason: they believe the stock price will go higher based on what they know about the business.
They are not as concerned with profits measured in percentages as they are with profits measured in multiples of the stock price.
Most of the time, insiders are contrarian and value-oriented when buying shares. Clusters of large insider buys often indicate a stock is getting near the lows and is ripe for a turnaround.
When we see insiders go against that habit and buy near 52-week highs, it is very informative and indicates that nonpublic knowledge will lead to higher prices sooner rather than later.
The top executives earn higher excess returns on their purchases than directors and low-level executives. Most of the time, the CEO and CFO have the highest returns.
&nbsp;That makes sense since they see more of the big picture than anyone else. Most of the time, they are the ones painting the picture.
The CFO tends to earn higher returns than the CEO. That also makes sense since they understand both the picture and vision and what that means for the financial statements.
These are not opinions.
These are facts and conclusions drawn from academic studies and real-world results.
We will look for opportunities created by all these rules as we go through 2025.
Since today is the first trading day of 2025, I thought we would take a look at some stocks where the CEO or CFO was making large purchases of stocks that Wall Street hates. Big money buying in the open market often indicates that hatred is misplaced.
Take Tidewater (Ticker: TDW), for example. Tidewater owns and operates a substantial fleet of offshore vessels, providing logistical support, crew transportation, and equipment delivery to offshore rigs, platforms, and facilities. They own the boats that take people, tools, and supplies to offshore drilling rigs worldwide.
It has not been a great business for several years now. Oil and gas prices have been in a range for some time now. Prices supported onshore activity, but offshore activity has been moribund. Politics and misguided energy policies have played a role in creating weakness in the industry as well.
Shares of Tidewater hit a high of $110 back in mid-year and have plunged by more than 50% since. There have been signs that offshore demand is picking up, and key executives at Tidewater apparently think the worst is over.
CEO Quintin Kneen spent almost $2 million on shares last month. Well-known value investor Robert Robotti is a large shareholder and director and has also been buying. Robotti purchased another million shares of stock last month.
Any increased offshore oil and gas activity will send this stock skyrocketing toward its 52-week highs. Any news that causes a spike in oil and gas demand or pricing could easily make Tidewater one of the top-performing stocks of 2025.
Shares of Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s Entertainment (Ticker: PLAY) have not been very entertaining lately. The company has been losing far more than analysts expected, and after the last quarter&#8217;s report, the CEO resigned. Wall Street hates the stock, and traders have been dumping it. Dave &amp; Buster&#8217;s shares are now down almost 60% from the 52-week highs.
Chairman of the board Kevin Sheehan has stepped in as interim CEO. Upon taking the role, Mr. Sheehan must have liked what he saw amidst the carnage as he broke out his checkbook and purchased another $1.4 million worth of stock. Two other directors also made six-figure open-market purchases of the stock.
The board of directors feels pretty good about the future, as it authorized a new $100 million stock buyback to take advantage of the bargain pricing. Almost 20% of the float is sold short, so any good news could squeeze the shares.
Insiders are not always right about their purchases, but they are right more often than not, and the rewards can be spectacular.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
In the domain of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their focus to those taking place in the open market, as meticulously outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
In the domain of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their focus to those taking place in the open market, as meticulously outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
