One of the main reasons is that the valuation of energy stocks is still low , the P/E ratio is attractive.

"Bloomberg" reported that energy stocks soared by about 55% in 2022 and are expected to hit a record high, while the second-ranked S&P 500 index's 11 major sectors barely rose, and the gap is quite huge.

Entering 2023, the outside world also has doubts about the prospects of energy stocks, but energy stock bulls believe that the industry is still attractive, pointing out that energy stocks are still in the S&P 500 sector, and the price-to-earnings ratio is still very low.
