Page 1 of 12

The 11 best oil company stocks to buy now have shown resilience even during the recent volatile conditions, restoring some confidence in them among investors. The last two years have been very tough on the oil industry, as low oil prices have weighed on profit and stifled growth. With improving industry fundamentals and increasing consumption, now might be a good time to invest in oil stocks.

The oil industry has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. The U.S shale oil boom added roughly 6 million barrels per day during the 2008-2015 period and the market entered into a surplus state. That led to oil prices declining due to worldwide oversupply. However, members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) agreed to reduce their combined output by 1.2 million barrels per day during the final quarter of 2016, which resulted in a nominal increase in oil prices. Prices are expected to stabilize in 2017 on the backdrop of a rebalance in the supply and demand fundamentals.

The companies behind the 11 best oil company stocks to buy now have worked hard to reduce their costs and operate far more efficiently. These companies have, therefore, positioned themselves not only to survive at lower oil prices, but to absolutely thrive should prices rise again in the future.
