Oil stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose core business involves the exploration, extraction, refining or distribution of crude oil and petroleum products. Because these companies’ revenues and profits track global oil‐price movements, supply–demand balances and geopolitical events, oil stocks offer investors both the potential for dividends and capital appreciation—and the risk of price volatility driven by changes in the energy market. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Oil stocks within the last several days.
