Wall Street analysts have high hopes for oil and gas stocks, encouraged by cheap valuations and President Donald Trump s boosterism of the beleaguered energy sector.
Energy boasts the highest percentage of buy-rated equities among the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 Index: roughly three in four members have buy recommendations, compared with roughly half in the broader market, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Plus, sell-side analysts see energy stocks rising about 16% over the next 12 months, second only to the health-care segment and roughly double the projected gain for the overall index.
华尔街分析师对石油和天然气类股票寄予厚望，这既受到估值低廉的鼓舞，也得益于唐纳德·特朗普总统对陷入困境的能源行业的大力支持。
根据彭博汇编的数据，在标普500指数的11个板块中，能源板块的买入评级股票占比最高：约四分之三的成分股获得买入建议，而整个市场的这一比例仅为半数左右。此外，卖方分析师预计能源股未来12个月将上涨约16%，涨幅仅次于医疗保健板块，且约为整体指数预期涨幅的两倍。
