Oil and gas producers tend to perform well during periods of elevated oil and gas prices.
However, energy companies earn less when the price of energy commodities falls. Oil refiners, on the other hand, benefit from the falling cost of feedstock to produce petroleum products like gasoline when crude oil prices drop. Furthermore, the energy industry is sensitive to political events, which historically have led to volatility—wild fluctuations—in the price of oil. These are the companies that drill, pump, and produce oil and natural gas. Production typically involves pulling oil out of the ground. The energy industry is more extensive and diversified than merely the oil and gas industry. Many investors believe renewable and alternative energy sources will play an important role in the future, especially as the demand for electric cars continues to grow.
