Excellent timing: a factor considered by Buffett in his recent OXY and CVX purchases

Continuing strong oil fundamentals are supporting high oil prices. This bolsters a view that 1970’s style stagflation is a likely scenario, echoed in analysts’ comments on Buffett’s purchases of oil and gas equities and sales of bank stocks.

Excellent timing: a factor considered by Buffett in his recent OXY and CVX purchases
The broad, negative outlook for the economy appears to be baked into oil and gas equities, despite this history and current strong fundamentals. Specifically, oil and gas equities are “pricing in” much lower prices—more in line with the oil market’s backwardated futures forward curve. This is poorly understood, attributed to a variety of factors like forward economic indicators turning negative, short-term catalysts dampening demand, and the green transition narrative. In reality, it is reflective of a tight physical market incentivizing oil out of storage.

If a negative economic outlook is fully priced into equities, and with oil prices strong despite a broad market downturn, there should be meaningful price upside to positive data in the future. Therefore, from a timing perspective, oil and gas equities may be compelling today as more economic malaise is priced in—potentially a factor considered by Buffett in his recent OXY and CVX purchases.
