Transocean stock hovers near $4 after oil’s 2025 slide; OPEC+ meeting looms

Transocean stock hovers near $4 after oil’s 2025 slide; OPEC+ meeting looms

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 20:47 ET — Market closed Transocean Ltd. shares (RIG) finished the final U.S. trading session of 2025 unchanged at $4.13, as Wall Street took a breather ahead of the New Year’s Day market holiday. The stock’s recent range was $4.11 to $4.21 on about 23 million shares. The flat close matters because Transocean is an offshore drilling contractor, and its customers’ spending plans typically move with oil prices and confidence in longer-term demand. When crude prices weaken, investors tend to reassess how quickly oil companies will sanction new deepwater projects. That reassessment is front-and-center now

Enbridge stock (ENB) ends 2025 lower as oil slides; what investors watch before Friday’s open

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:02 ET — Market closed Enbridge Inc shares last closed at $47.83, down 0.46%, after U.S. markets shuttered on Thursday for the New Year’s Day holiday. StockAnalysis+1 That matters because Enbridge trades as a high-cashflow pipeline and utility operator that investors often buy for income, making it sensitive to shifts in rates and risk appetite. With liquidity thin at year-end, small moves can get amplified. Reuters The backdrop heading into 2026 is mixed: Treasury yields ticked higher while oil prices fell sharply over the year, a combination that can weigh on energy-linked dividend stocks even

Saudi Aramco stock forecast 2026: Can dividends offset weak oil after 2025’s 15% slide?

Saudi Aramco stock forecast 2026: Can dividends offset weak oil after 2025’s 15% slide?

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:25 ET Saudi Arabian Oil Co, better known as Saudi Aramco (2222.SE), enters 2026 after its shares fell 15.04% in 2025, the stock’s worst annual drop since its December 2019 IPO, amid weak oil markets and rising regional tensions. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark ended the year about 13% lower, and Milad Azar, a market analyst at XTB MENA, said the market may rebound in 2026 as monetary policy eases and interest rates decline, but “key risks could remain oil and global growth.” Reuters Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (TASI), the main benchmark, rose 0.6% on

Exxon Mobil stock today: XOM slips as oil ends 2025 with its steepest annual drop since 2020

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 11:03 ET — Market closed. Exxon Mobil (XOM) slipped 0.54% to $120.34 on Wednesday, the last trading day of 2025, after touching $121.26. Investing.com data show the stock has traded between about $97.80 and $121.80 over the past 52 weeks, and it hit a low of $114.61 in mid-December. Investing.com The drift lower leaves Exxon starting 2026 with crude prices doing most of the talking. For integrated majors such as Exxon and peer Chevron, the market often treats oil as shorthand for near-term cash flow and capital returns. Oil’s slide through the year has revived

Chevron stock (CVX) ends 2025 near flat as oil posts steep annual drop; Venezuela sanctions, Kazakhstan export hiccups in focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:08 ET — Market closed. Chevron Corp (CVX) shares edged up 0.1% to $152.41 on Wednesday, trading between $151.67 and $152.55 on volume of about 3.2 million shares. Yahoo Finance That quiet finish capped a year-end stretch in which energy stocks have taken their cues from crude benchmarks, as investors reset 2026 profit and cash-return expectations for the oil majors. Politics and logistics stayed in the mix. The U.S. Treasury sanctioned four companies it said were operating in Venezuela’s oil sector and four vessels on Wednesday, as President Donald Trump’s administration steps up pressure on

Exxon stock today: XOM slips after hours as oil caps 2025’s steep drop

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 5:59 PM ET — After-hours Exxon Mobil Corporation shares slipped in after-hours trading on Wednesday, with the energy sector under pressure into the end of the year. The stock was down about 0.5% at $120.34. The dip matters because oil prices are setting the tone for 2026 expectations, and integrated producers like Exxon still take their biggest earnings cues from crude and natural gas. A weaker oil tape can compress upstream profits even as it lowers feedstock costs for refiners. Focus is shifting to near-term signposts that can reset positioning quickly in thin year-end markets.

Chevron stock barely budges as oil ends 2025 under pressure; OPEC+ in focus

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:21 ET — Regular session Chevron Corporation shares were little changed in afternoon trading on Wednesday, down 0.03% at $152.27. The stock traded between $151.68 and $152.54, while peer Exxon Mobil fell about 0.6%. The muted move comes as oil heads toward its biggest annual drop since 2020, keeping a tight grip on big integrated producers such as Chevron. Brent was around $61 a barrel and U.S. WTI near $58, according to Reuters. Reuters Analysts have warned that supply could outstrip demand in 2026, with some forecasting more downside early next year before prices stabilize.

Exxon Mobil stock slips today as oil heads for biggest annual drop since 2020

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 14:11 ET — Regular session. Exxon Mobil (XOM) shares edged lower on Wednesday, down 0.6% at $120.22 in afternoon trade, after moving between $119.87 and $121.49. The muted move still mattered on the final trading day of the year, with oil prices on track for their steepest annual decline since 2020 and investors recalibrating expectations for 2026 cash flow across the sector. For integrated oil majors like Exxon, small changes in crude prices and refinery profitability can swing sentiment quickly, especially in holiday-thinned trading when liquidity is lighter.

NEW YORK, Dec 31, 2025, 12:13 ET — Regular session LandBridge Company LLC shares slid on Wednesday and briefly set a new 52-week low, extending a late-year pullback as investors weighed a weaker crude backdrop and a risk-off tone in energy-linked pockets of the market. Investing.com The stock was down 3.2% at $48.63 in midday trading, after touching an intraday low of $48.29 — below the prior 52-week floor flagged in market reports.

CNOOC Limited stock today jumps 4% in Hong Kong as oil holds gains

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 01:45 ET — Market closed CNOOC Limited shares climbed 4.36% to HK$21.54 in Hong Kong on Tuesday, from a previous close of HK$20.64, as oil prices steadied after a sharp prior-session rise. PetroChina’s Hong Kong-listed shares were up 3.27% in the same window. Investing.com The move matters because upstream oil producers like CNOOC tend to move with crude, and the market is trying to price a tug-of-war between geopolitical risk and signs of ample supply heading into 2026. Oil rose on Monday after investors weighed developments around Ukraine peace talks and fresh geopolitical tensions, helping

Chevron stock edges up as oil rallies and Frontera signs $120 mln supply deal

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 13:42 ET — Regular session Chevron shares rose on Monday as oil prices jumped and traders weighed fresh supply news after Frontera Energy said it signed a two-year crude agreement with a Chevron unit worth up to $120 million. Reuters+1 The developments matter because energy stocks are being pulled between day-to-day geopolitical supply shocks and a growing debate over whether 2026 brings excess oil that could cap prices and margins.
