Goldman Sachs2026-10-10 04:30:10Goldman Sachs Picks 10 Energy and Power Stocks for Q4, Sees 27% Average UpsideGoldman Sachs said in an Oct. 8, 2026 report that it sees an average total return potential of 27% across 10 energy and power stocks, all of which carry Buy ratings based on Oct. 7 closing prices. The list spans four themes: oil and gas exploration and production, power and LNG, refining, and natural gas upstream and midstream. Goldman’s core view is that these names offer attractive risk-reward at current levels, with several fourth-quarter catalysts lined up. Among the triggers highlighted in the report are progress at ConocoPhillips’ Willow project, a possible earnings guidance increase from Duke Energy, and a commercial contract announcement tied to Golar LNG’s fourth FLNG vessel. The report, summarized by Chaoxiang Research and cited by MarsBit, also includes target prices and cash flow or earnings assumptions for each company, ranging from refinery operator HF Sinclair to infrastructure and services names such as Quanta Services and Baker Hughes. Goldman said the combination of grid buildout, data center demand, LNG expansion, and tighter refining fundamentals underpins its stock selection.140

Qatar2026-08-11 15:58:11Qatar LNG Loadings Hit Highest Level Since March as Strait of Hormuz Reopening Expectations BuildQatar’s liquefied natural gas loadings climbed to their highest level since March on Aug. 11, a sign the country may be preparing for a possible reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. At Ras Laffan port, average daily LNG loadings were about 80,000 tons, according to the report. Even so, that level remained roughly 60% below the same period last year, showing that exports have not yet returned to normal levels. The report also said seven of Qatar’s 14 LNG production trains have shown signs of resuming operations, pointing to a gradual recovery in output after disruptions caused by the conflict. Still, a full rebound in exports depends on whether shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz can fully resume. Diplomatic talks tied to that issue are still underway, but there is no assurance that an agreement will be reached.1930
