imaginima/E+ via Getty Images As earnings season enters its final week, a pocket of the energy market is quietly outperforming, and the momentum grades tell the story. Eight energy stocks spanning oil and gas equipment, exploration and production, and storage and transportation have earned A+ momentum grades from Seeking Alpha's Quant system, identifying them as the sector's highest-flying names on price performance. The group ranges in market cap from roughly $494M to $5.4B, making it a mix of small and mid-cap plays rather than the household names that typically dominate energy headlines. Forum Energy Technologies ( FET ) sits at the top of the list, followed by Kosmos Energy ( KOS ), Liberty Energy ( LBRT ), National Energy Services Reunited ( NESR ), and NGL Energy Partners ( NGL ). ProPetro Holding ( PUMP ), New Era Energy & Digital ( NUAI ), and W&T Offshore ( WTI ) round out the group. All eight share the same A+ momentum score, but their valuation grades diverge sharply, and that divergence is worth paying attention to. The most attractive combination on the list belongs to ProPetro ( PUMP ), which pairs its A+ momentum with an A valuation grade, suggesting the stock is still running but hasn't yet been priced for perfection. NGL Energy Partners ( NGL ) and NESR offer similar appeal, with valuation grades of B and B- respectively. On the other end of the spectrum, Liberty Energy ( LBRT ) carries an F valuation grade despite its top momentum score, meaning the rally there may already be fully, and then some, priced in. FET, NUAI, and WTI sit in similarly stretched territory with D- and D valuation grades, flagging momentum that has outpaced the underlying fundamentals. Here is the list: Forum Energy Technologies, Inc. ( FET ), Momentum: A+, Valuation: D- Kosmos Energy Ltd. ( KOS ), Momentum: A+, Valuation: C- Liberty Energy Inc. ( LBRT ), Momentum: A+, Valuation: F National Energy Services Reunited Corp. ( NESR ), Momentum: A+, Valuation: B- NGL Energy Partne...

Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged a step toward full nationalization of British Steel during a crucial speech on Monday designed to save his premiership. Starmer described steel production as the “ultimate sovereign capability” and said his Labour government would legislate to give itself the power to take ownership of the company subject to a public interest test. “In Scunthorpe, we’ve been negotiating with the current owner and a commercial sale has not been possible,” Starmer said. “Strong nations in a world like this need to make steel.” It was the main policy unveiled in a speech that he hopes will fend off the threat of a leadership challenge, following a disastrous set of local elections last week. Britain took de-facto control of British Steel just over a year ago to prevent its two furnaces closing, with the UK Treasury on the hook for losses in excess of £1 million a day. Industry group UK Steel welcomed the move, describing the sector as a strategic national asset. British Steel is the last company in the country capable of using raw iron ore to produce so-called virgin steel, which plays a key role in defense supply chains and other industrial sectors. The steel industry’s struggles have intensified in recent years due to high energy costs and a jump in tariffs triggered by the US. Read More: UK Defends Move to Tariff Steel as ‘Not Very Donald Trump’ “British Steel could be back in government hands for the first time since being sold off in 1988,” said a statement from the Department of Business and Trade. The power to nationalize “will be included in new legislation to be set out in the King’s Speech on Wednesday.” A public interest test considers national security, the need for critical infrastructure and support for the economy.

Getty Images Listen below or on the go via Apple Podcasts and Spotify Stock index futures fall as hopes of a U.S.-Iran resolution fade. (00:13) Nintendo ( NTDOY ) slumps 9% over Switch 2 pricing and cautious guidance. (01:13) Dunkin' Donuts owner Inspire Brands files confidentially for IPO. (02:28) This is an abridged transcript. Stock index futures are lower as there seems to be no end in sight to the U.S.-Iran conflict after President Trump called Iran’s latest proposal “totally unacceptable.” Iran’s proposal reportedly emphasized Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz while calling on the U.S. to end its naval blockade, guarantee no further attacks, lift sanctions, and end a U.S. ban on Iranian oil sales. The Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed. The Dow and S&P 500 are both down around 0.1% and the Nasdaq is down 0.25%. Crude oil is up 2.3% at $97. Bitcoin is down 1.6% at $80,000. Gold is down 1.3% at $4,655. The FTSE 100 is up 0.1% and the DAX is down 0.3%. Nintendo ( NTDOY ) stock price fell around 9% in Tokyo on Monday after investors reacted negatively to higher Switch 2 pricing and concerns over a weak lineup of games. Investors were also disappointed by Nintendo’s ( NTDOY ) outlook for the current fiscal year. The company forecasts Switch 2 sales of 16.5M units, below the nearly 20M units sold in the previous year, while operating profit guidance of 370B yen came in well below analyst expectations of about 480B yen. The company also said that it will raise the price of its Switch 2 console to $500 from $450, signaling mounting profitability pressure as it enters its second year on the market. The effective date of price revisions in the United States, Canada, and Europe is September 1, 2026. The increases come as memory chip costs surge amid strong AI-related demand. Concerns have also grown because Nintendo ( NTDOY ) remains heavily dependent on its gaming business compared with rivals such as Sony ( SONY ), whose shares rose after it projected s...

Funtap/iStock via Getty Images Highlights During the first quarter of 2026, the largest portfolio sector weightings were Information Technology and Health Care. The largest sector overweight was Health Care and the largest sector underweight was Information Technology. The Information Technology and Financials sectors contributed to relative performance while Energy and Consumer Staples were among sectors that detracted from relative performance. Market Environment U.S. equities endured a turbulent first quarter, with the S&P 500 Index ( SP500 ) declining 4.33% as two distinct forces converged to reshape the investment landscape. The period began with a sharp recalibration across the software industry, as the emergence of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) tools raised questions about the durability of traditional software business models. Investors moved swiftly to reprice companies most exposed to AI disruption, triggering a broad sell-off that weighed heavily on the technology-heavy corners of the market. The dislocation also spilled into private credit, where several firms with outsized exposure to software faced redemption pressures. Despite this turbulence, the underlying economy remained strong through the opening months of the year — consumers continued to spend, and expectations held firm for another quarter of solid earnings growth within the S&P 500 Index. The second, and more consequential, disruption arrived in late February with the outbreak of the U.S.–Iran conflict and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint through which roughly 20% of the world's seaborne oil transits. The resulting supply shock sent crude prices surging past $100 per barrel for the first time in four years, injecting potential inflationary pressure into an economy the Federal Reserve (Fed) had been carefully guiding lower. Higher energy costs complicated the Fed's rate-cutting path; markets entered the quarter pricing in two rate cuts in 2026 but e...
