Sometimes the stock market’s dance can be a puzzling waltz, but when energy stocks are in the spotlight, it’s truly a sight to behold. The phenomenon of overselling, often perceived as a weakness, can paradoxically become a beacon of opportunity for those with a discerning eye. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has its skeptics, as it veers below the 30-mark, investors view it as a potentially lucrative pointer to greatness for ailing stocks, one that may, with the right touch, unleash a tidal wave of profit.
The RSI, for the uninitiated, embodies a stock’s strength, both on upward and downward days. A figure below 30 is typically indicative of an oversold status, laying the groundwork for the potential phoenix-like rise of certain companies, still teetering on the precipice of true valuation. As we brace ourselves for the coming month’s stock market rollercoaster, here are the top three energy stocks looming on the brink of a possible explosion of value.
San Juan Basin Royalty Trust SJT
- The saga of San Juan Basin Royalty Trust has been riddled with vicissitudes, culminating in a settlement agreement with Hilcorp totaling a staggering $1.04 million on September 7. Despite this monumental feat, the company’s stock has tumbled by approximately 25% in the bygone lunar cycle, plummeting to a nadir of $4.93. Yet, the RSI value reads 28.71, a vulnerable harbinger of a potential turnaround, pushing the stock up by a modest 2% to a $5.13 close on Thursday.
Hallador Energy Company HNRG
- In a more dramatic rendition of fortune’s caprice, Hallador Energy Company regaled investors with a tale of woe on November 6, when the company posted downtrodden quarterly earnings. High coal sales prices and astronomical coal shipment volumes, tempered by operational hurdles, resulted in a record coal revenue. However, the company failed to surmount the challenges, ultimately incurring a hefty 28% stock descent, plunging to a 52-week low of $6.87. A perilously low RSI value of 22.44 presents an arduous climb to recovery, with a diminutive 0.6% downturn, closing at $8.95 on Thursday.
Permianville Royalty Trust PVL
- As the winds of change howled through the plains, Permianville Royalty Trust followed suit on December 18, reporting a monthly operational update that scarcely assuaged investors as the stock careened by 25%, plunging to a 52-week low of $1.46. The RSI value of 27.98 stands as a muted call to action, as the stock ebbed by 1.4%, closing at an eerie $1.46 on Thursday.
