In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.

US natural gas futures surged to a nearly three-year high on November 28 on the back of colder weather forecasts and the increased demand for heating. Moreover, the record increase in American LNG exports is also adding significantly to the demand, with average gas flows to the country’s eight big LNG export plants rising to 18.1 bcfd by November 27, up from a record 16.6 bcfd in October.

The global crude oil prices have also seen an uptick over the last week after OPEC+ reaffirmed its decision to suspend production hikes during the first quarter of 2026. However, these gains are limited due to the progress being made toward a potential peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. If a deal to end the 3-year-long war is concluded, it could pave the way for the Western sanctions on Russian oil to be lifted, opening the door for Moscow to supply its barrels to an international market that is already facing a significant surplus next year.

7. Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ)

Share Price Gains Between Nov 21 – Nov 28: 11.42%

Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ) is one of the largest global providers of uranium fuel, which powers the ongoing nuclear energy renaissance.

Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ) received a boost on November 24 following reports that Canada is nearing an export agreement with India to supply the South Asian country with uranium for 10 years. If finalized, the $2.8 billion deal would position Cameco as a long-term supplier to India’s ballooning nuclear power sector.

It is worth noting that Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ) fell sharply after announcing its third-quarter results on November 5, as the company missed estimates on both earnings and revenue. Moreover, Cameco posted lower production guidance for this year due to delays at its flagship McArthur River and Key Lake facilities. So the recent rally could also be a result of investors viewing the stock as undervalued and picking it up at a lower, more favorable price.

Also, Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ) traded ex-dividend on November 29, which may have spurred activity around the stock due to investors taking advantage of the dividend capture strategy.

6. Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI)

Share Price Gains Between Nov 21 – Nov 28: 11.81%

Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) garnered increased investor attention on November 17 when Piper Sandler analyst Derek Podhaizer raised the stock’s price target from $50 to $65, while maintaining an ‘Overweight’ rating. The analyst highlighted Solaris’ announcement during its Q3 earnings call that it has secured another 500 MW, bringing its total generation capacity to approximately 2.2 gigawatts by early 2028. The expansion will result in 900 MW of additional capacity and help support the company’s efforts to secure more data center contracts. It is worth noting that Solaris successfully began providing primary power to a second data center during the third quarter.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) has fallen sharply since the beginning of November, despite announcing better-than-expected third-quarter results. However, Piper Sandler still favors the stock and sees upside potential.

Share Price Gains Between Nov 21 – Nov 28: 27.47%

Topping our list of Energy Stocks that Gained This Week is Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLNC), a global market leader delivering intelligent energy storage and optimization software for renewables and storage.

Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLNC) shot up despite reporting lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fourth quarter on November 24, as the company forecasted its revenue for FY 2026 to grow by 50%, with 85% of that outlook already secured in its backlog at the year’s start. Fluence reported a record $1.4 billion of orders in Q4, bringing its total backlog to $5.3 billion as of September 30, up from $4.5 billion a year earlier. Moreover, the company reported liquidity of $1.3 billion as of the end of its FY 2025, compared to $1 billion a year ago.

Julian Nebreda, President and CEO at Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLNC), stated in the company’s earnings call:

“Our record $1.4 billion of order intake during the fourth quarter included contributions across all our core markets. Approximately half were for projects located in Australia. For fiscal ’26, we currently expect the U.S. market will be the largest contributor of order intake as reflected by our pipeline as of year-end. Looking ahead, demand for energy storage solution is accelerating worldwide, driven by both the rapid decline in capital cost of storage and surging demand for electricity for intermittent renewables, data centers and industrial complexes. We have seen a significant increase in larger deals in our pipeline that as of September 30, includes 38 deals of at least 1 gigawatt hour, more than double the number from last year and nearly 5x what we saw 2 years ago.”

Fluence Energy, Inc.
