In this article, we are going to discuss the energy stocks that are gaining this week.
The S&P Energy index outperformed the overall S&P 500 over the last week, posting gains of 1.4% between November 28 and December 5, primarily due to a surge in crude oil and natural gas prices.
The rebound in crude oil comes after the White House and Kremlin failed to achieve a breakthrough in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks, keeping the Western sanctions on Russian energy exports firmly in place. Moreover, the recent threats of an American military intervention in Venezuela have also sparked supply concerns, since any escalation could jeopardize the country’s 1.1 million bpd of oil output.
Meanwhile, US natural gas futures are currently at a 3-year high after a recent decision by the European Union to phase out gas imports from Russia by late 2027. Moreover, natural gas demand has also received support from forecasts of cold weather, as well as the rising LNG exports from the US. According to LSEG, American LNG exports hit an all-time monthly high in November for the second straight month.

9. IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSEAMERICAN:ISOU)
Share Price Gains Between Nov. 28 and Dec. 5: 9.85%
IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSEAMERICAN:ISOU) is a leading, globally diversified uranium company with substantial current and historical mineral resources in top uranium mining jurisdictions in Canada, the United States, and Australia.
On December 3, IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSEAMERICAN:ISOU) shared an update on its operational activities in Canada’s Athabasca region, highlighting successful drill programs at its Larocque East and Hawk projects. The company reported strongly anomalous radioactivity and uranium geochemistry from multiple holes across both the winter and summer programs, indicating potential resource expansion. The upcoming winter drilling program is expected to build on these encouraging results, with additional work planned next year to develop drill targets on highly prospective projects.
Dan Brisbin, Vice President Exploration of IsoEnergy Ltd. (NYSEAMERICAN:ISOU), stated:
“We are pleased that geochemical results received to date have validated the 2025 Larocque East drill program radioactivity results. In particular, the intersection in drill hole LE25-202 nearly three kilometres east of Hurricane is the best uranium intersection on the Larocque East project to date outside of the Hurricane deposit area, highlighting the prospectivity of the Larocque Trend.
Hawk is an early-stage project, and we believe that the intersection of key geological elements like graphitic basement rocks, faults in both the sandstone and basement, and indicative alteration in widely spaced drill holes is encouraging. New geochemical data from the 2025 drill holes on both projects will be key information for our exploration team to integrate with geophysical information and drill core structural and alteration information as we develop targets for a 2026 drill program.”
