Why These Energy Stocks Are Losing This Week

1. New Era Helium, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEHC)

Share Price Decline Between Mar. 27 and Apr. 3: 35.7%

Topping our list of the Stocks that Lost the Most This Week is New Era Helium, Inc (NASDAQ:NEHC), an energy company that extracts helium from natural gas reserves in North America.

The recent downturn in the share price of New Era Helium, Inc (NASDAQ:NEHC) could be due to profit-taking by investors after the stock surged by almost 82% last month following the announcement that NEHC was advancing its plans for a new data center with Sharon AI. The decline was further intensified due to a broader sell-off in the market, which was a result of an escalating global trade war and the threat of a global economic slowdown.

Moreover, NEHC revealed in February that it had amended its Equity Purchase Facility Agreement (EPFA) with an institutional investor to sell up to $75 million of its common stock. Under the revised agreement, the purchase price per share is set at 95% of the market price.

Overall, NEHC ranks first on our list of the energy stocks that lost the most this week. While we acknowledge the potential of energy companies, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
