Market Eyes LiveEnergy Stocks, Rated
Energy divides into producers that sell the commodity, refiners that earn on the spread between crude and products, oilfield services that earn on drilling activity, and midstream companies that earn largely fixed fees for transporting it. Each responds differently to the same oil price.
Every score below is free. 16 energy stocks scored on the same eight factors, updated as the data changes.
Ranked by composite score
Ranked highest to lowest by MELANY composite score, a 0 to 100 reading from eight factors. Each row links to the full breakdown and the live price. Ratings are a dated snapshot, most recently computed 2026-08-21.
These tiers are algorithmic research readings, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not personalized investment advice. Ranking order is not a suggested purchase order.
What is in the app for these 16 companies
The score and the eight factors behind it are open on every company page. The trade plan is the part that is not: one suggested entry price per company, the stop, the targets, and an alert when a name enters its entry zone. That unlocks free when you create an account.

Measured against each company's rating about 30 days ago. A tier change is reported as a move between named tiers; the score is what carries the direction. Runner is a short-term momentum flag, not a rung above or below any other tier.
What moves this group
Producers track the commodity most directly and are judged on break-even cost and reserve quality. Refiners can profit in a falling crude market if the crack spread widens. Midstream is closer to a toll business and behaves more like infrastructure, with distribution coverage as the key metric. Capital discipline, meaning how much cash goes to shareholders rather than new drilling, has been the sector story for several years.

How Market Eyes Live scores these companies
Every company on this page is scored by MELANY, our own engine, which reads regulatory filings and market data and produces a composite score from 0 to 100 across eight factors: valuation, business quality, price momentum, earnings track record, analyst sentiment, catalyst setup, risk-adjusted profile and macro fit.
Each score maps to a conviction tier rather than a buy or sell call. Established companies with enough financial history are judged on fundamentals. Pre-profit or thin-data companies are judged on a separate speculative path that leans on momentum and theme strength, because there are not enough fundamentals to read. That is why two names with similar scores can carry very different risk.
Frequently asked questions
Do all energy stocks follow the oil price?
No. Producers track it most closely, refiners earn on spreads that can widen as crude falls, and midstream companies earn largely fee-based revenue.
What is a crack spread?
The margin between the cost of crude and the value of the refined products made from it. It is the primary earnings driver for refiners.
What does the risk-adjusted factor capture?
Upside weighed against volatility and drawdown risk, which matters more in commodity-linked sectors than in most.
