In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
The American coal sector was among the biggest winners this week, as the Trump administration announced plans to open 13 million acres of federal lands for coal mining and provide $625 million to recommission or modernize coal-fired power plants. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency would ease regulations on water and air pollution to help extend the lifetimes of these plants.
The move is part of a broader effort by the White House to revive the declining industry that has been hit hard by environmental regulations and competition from natural gas in recent years.
The natural gas sector also gained significantly following a sharp surge in the price of natural gas, with US natural gas futures shooting up by over 30% this week. Natural gas prices are expected to rise as temperatures drop due to the additional demand for heating. Moreover, the recent EIA storage data came in bullish, with inventories increasing by only 53 bcf for the week ending September 26, well under estimates of 67 bcf and the five-year average build of 85 bcf.

10. Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX)
Share Price Gains Between Sep 25 – Oct 2: 3.13%
Established in 2024 following the merger of Dril-Quip and Innovex Downhole Solutions, Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX) designs and manufactures offshore drilling and production equipment.
Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX) gained this week after the company reported that it had completed the sale of its Dril-Quip Eldridge facility for $90 million, resulting in estimated net proceeds of approximately $86.5 million.
Adam Anderson, CEO of Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX), stated:
“This sale is a meaningful milestone in our transformation journey. The transaction will enhance our already strong net cash position and is significant in size, with expected proceeds equal to nearly 7% of Innovex’s current market cap. Equally as important, this step reshapes our operating footprint: by exiting Eldridge, we are reducing our square footage dedicated to Houston Subsea operations by nearly 80%. We expect this dramatic consolidation to lower costs, simplify operations, and drive efficiencies across the organization. We view this outcome as a powerful combination of financial strength and operational improvement, fully aligned with our strategy of maintaining a lean, flexible cost structure and a conservative balance sheet to capture opportunities across industry cycles.”
Innovex International, Inc. (NYSE:INVX) also received a boost last month after the company revealed that it had been named the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of wellhead systems for OneSubsea.

Share Price Gains Between Sep 25 – Oct 2: 3.39%
EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) is a leading natural gas producer in the US with production and midstream operations focused in the Appalachian Basin.
EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) received a significant boost this week after the Henry Hub natural gas price shot up by over 30% this week, following a smaller-than-expected build in weekly gas storage. Natural gas prices also tend to move higher with the colder months approaching, as demand increases due to heating.
Moreover, EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) CEO Toby Rice recently stated that the company has 2.5 Bcf/d of potential growth opportunities through supply agreements with AI data centers and the new southeastern US markets accessible through the EQT-owned Mountain Valley pipeline. This potential growth is expected to make EQT the largest natural gas producer in America.
