Top 3 Energy Stocks Which Could Rescue Your Portfolio This Month

In the current market session, SM Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SM#NYSE">SM</a>) stock price is at $43.09, after a 0.28% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 12.55%, and in the past year, by 15.41%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737484211_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating SM Energy P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 30.14 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, SM Energy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 6.05. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737484211_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

While shale oil producers have enjoyed an advantage over gas producers over the past 15 years, the situation is likely to reverse in 2025, according to JPMorgan.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59b8033d15737d000128a73d/arun-jayaram">Analyst Arun Jayaram</a> said in a note that natural gas producers are likely to benefit from three "powerful secular demand trends" in 2025:
<ul>
<li>The build-out of significant LNG export capacity</li>
<li>Rising power demand from electrification</li>
<li>The switch from coal to natural gas</li>
</ul>
Natural gas prices could remain above $3.50 per MMBtu (Metric Million British Thermal Unit) in the long term, as this price reset to a higher level will be needed to incentivize incremental supply growth from higher-cost gas basins, Jayaram stated.
The Rating Changes
ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) – upgraded from Neutral to Overweight.
While the stock has underperformed peers year-to-date, the company is likely to be "one of the few E&amp;Ps in our coverage that raise cash return in 2025," including $6.0 billion in share buybacks, the analyst said.
Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) &#8211; downgraded from Overweight to Neutral.
The company faces tougher comps in 2025, given its strong well productivity so far. "Another factor that supports our downgrade is the sizeable PE overhang post the Grayson Mill deal (~6% of shares outstanding)," Jayaram wrote.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
SM Energy Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SM#NYSE">SM</a>) &#8211; downgraded from Overweight to Neutral.
The downgrade reflects a "preference for natural gas exposure" and the company's near-term cash return lagging peers," he stated.
CNX Resources Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNX#NYSE">CNX</a>) &#8211; downgraded from Neutral to Underweight.
The stock has outperformed year-to-date and the company has "less near-term gas exposure compared to gassy peers given its robust hedge book," the analyst said.
Price Action
At the time of publication Thursday:
<ul>
<li>Shares of ConocoPhillips had risen by 0.58% to $104.10.</li>
<li>Devon Energy's stock had declined by 0.93% to $36.14.</li>
