Next on our list of Energy Stocks that Fell This Week is Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE:SBR). The company holds royalty and mineral interests in various oil and gas properties in the United States.

Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE:SBR) declined on December 5 after the company announced a monthly dividend of $0.19667 per share, down almost 45% from the $0.3567 distribution it declared last month. This is primarily due to a decrease in production, with SBR reporting preliminary production volumes of approximately 28,904 barrels of oil in September, down significantly from the prior month’s 65,727 barrels. Moreover, natural gas production also came in at 796,698 Mcf, against 1,135,345 Mcf previously. However, the declines were partially offset by higher oil and natural gas prices and by a decrease in Ad Valorem taxes.

It is worth noting that this is the fourth consecutive cut in monthly distributions by the company and its lowest dividend since 2021.

Despite the recent slump, Sabine Royalty Trust (NYSE:SBR) has gained more than 10% so far this year.
