Shares of energy stocks are trading higher amid strength in oil and natural gas prices.

Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Mehta revised the rating and updated estimates on Thursday for several <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy" rel="noreferrer noopener">major American oil companies</a>.
The revision reflects average $75/b Brent oil prices in 2025 and 2026, consistent with the Goldman Sachs Commodities team&#8217;s updated oil range of $65-$80/b, writes the analyst.
PARR: The analyst upgraded Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARR#NYSE">PARR</a>) from Neutral to Buy and raised the<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/parr/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> price forecast from $18 to $19.</a>
The bullish stance reflects the company&#8217;s year-to-date underperformance relative to the S&amp;P, highlighting strong upside potential from the Retail and Logistics segment and expectations of a margin rebound in the Singapore region.
Also, the analyst says that PARR&#8217;s Hawaii refining operations are well-positioned to gain from a margin recovery.
Additionally, the analyst remains optimistic about the earnings contributions from the Logistics and Retail segments.
The analyst now estimates 2025-2026 EPS of $0.67 (from $0.79) and $2.97 (from $2.73 prior).
This reflects mark-to-market cracks and commodity prices for the quarter so far, refining capture rate updates, and modifications to throughput, operating expenses, Logistics and Retail earnings, and share repurchases.
IMO: Mehta downgraded Imperial Oil Limited (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IMO#AMEX">IMO</a>) from Neutral to Sell and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/imo/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a price forecast of C$90.00</a>.
The analyst writes that he acknowledges the company&#8217;s strong operational performance, particularly at key assets like Kearl and Cold Lake.
Regardless, Mehta sees its value proposition as less distinct in 2025/2026, with a lower capital returns yield compared to peers.
The analyst estimates cash flow per share of C$2.91 for first-quarter FY25 (vs FactSet consensus of C$3.20).
For 2025-2026, Mehta now estimates EPS estimates of C$8.35 (from C$8.04) and C$9.06 (from C$9.65 prior) vs. consensus of C$8.23 and C$8.94, respectively.
PSX: The analyst also downgraded Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) from Buy to Neutral and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/psx/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained the price forecast of $132.</a>
Although the analyst appreciates the company&#8217;s diversified business mix, Midstream earnings contributions and cost reduction efforts, he plans to monitor for updates on operational improvements in Refining amid weaker Chemicals margin environment.
Mehta estimates EPS of $7.39 (from $7.69 earlier) for 2025 and $13.17 (from $12.75 prior).

Phillips 66 Files Preliminary Proxy Statement For 2025 Annual Meeting; Recommends Shareholders Use White Proxy Card And Vote Against Elliott's Proposal

Seeks an Order Requiring That Four Board Seats Be Up for Election at Phillips' 2025 Annual Meeting
Asserts Company Has Demonstrated a Pattern of Gamesmanship and Poor Corporate Governance
Requests Expedited Proceedings in Delaware Chancery Court&nbsp;
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Investment Management L.P. ("Elliott"), which manages funds that together have an investment of more than $2.5 billion in Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) (the "Company" or "Phillips"), today filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court") against the Company and its Board of Directors (the "Board").
The complaint seeks an order requiring that four board seats be up for election at Phillips' 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting").&nbsp; After receiving Elliott's notice of director nominations, on February 18 Phillips announced that two sitting directors previously in the 2025 class, Gary Adams and Denise Ramos, would not stand for reelection, and that the size of the Board would be reduced from 14 to 12 directors after the Annual Meeting. As a result, there would only be two seats up for election in the 2025 class and then five in each of the 2026 and 2027 classes – which Elliott argues in the complaint is in violation of the Company's governing documents requiring director classes to be equalized.
Despite Elliott privately requesting confirmation, Phillips has still not disclosed how many seats will be up for election or who its nominees will be, requiring Elliott to file a complaint in order to preserve its shareholder rights. The Company's current gamesmanship around its directors follows the Company's previous failure to honor its representations made to Elliott – dating back to February 2024 – that it would appoint a mutually agreed-upon director with energy experience. In its complaint, Elliott states that if the Company ends its defensive maneuvers and confirms that at least four director seats will be up for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting, Elliott intends to withdraw the complaint and no longer proceed with the litigation.
This preference for gamesmanship and disregard for stockholder rights demonstrated by Phillips reinforces why change is urgently needed on the Board in order for the Company to achieve its full value-creation potential. On March 4, Elliott announced a slate of seven highly qualified director candidates with complementary backgrounds and experience related to improving refining and midstream operations, evaluating complex strategic transactions and enhancing corporate governance. Prior to the filing of Elliott's definitive proxy materials, Elliott will identify the final slate of director candidates that will stand for election at the Annual Meeting.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Elliott Investment Management L.P. ("Elliott"), which manages funds that together have an investment of more than $2.5 billion in Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>) (the "Company" or "Phillips"), today announced seven independent, highly qualified candidates it has nominated (the "Candidates") to the Company's Board for election at the upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting").
In its February 11 materials, Elliott detailed its case for change at Phillips to allow the Company to realize its full potential and reverse its persistent&nbsp;underperformance versus peers. Elliott identified three initiatives that it believes are critical to real progress finally occurring at Phillips: portfolio simplification; an operating review; and enhanced oversight. The director nominees announced today will bring the right experience and objective perspectives to the Board as it executes the best path forward for the Company, including by bolstering accountability and improving oversight of management initiatives.
Elliott's slate of seven highly qualified individuals allows it to maintain flexibility given the Company's recent actions to change the composition of its Board. On February 18 Phillips announced that two sitting directors previously in the 2025 class, Gary Adams and Denise Ramos, would not stand for reelection at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting, and that the size of the Board would be reduced from 14 to 12 directors after the Annual Meeting. However, the Company has not disclosed how many seats will now be up for election or who it will be nominating. Elliott's candidates were chosen through a comprehensive search process to identify professionals with complementary backgrounds and experience related to improving refining and midstream operations, evaluating complex strategic transactions and enhancing corporate governance.&nbsp;Prior to the filing of Elliott's definitive proxy materials, Elliott will identify the final slate of director candidates that will stand for election at the Annual Meeting.
Elliott's director nominees are as follows, with more detailed biographies appended to this release:
<ul>
<li>Brian Coffman – former CEO of Motiva Enterprises and former SVP of Refining at Andeavor</li>
<li>Sigmund Cornelius – former SVP and CFO of ConocoPhillips</li>
<li>Michael Heim – one of the founders and former President and COO of Targa Resources</li>
<li>Alan Hirshberg – former EVP, Production, Drilling and Projects at ConocoPhillips</li>
<li>Gillian Hobson – former M&amp;A and Capital Markets Partner at Vinson &amp; Elkins, with significant focus on midstream transactions</li>
<li>Stacy Nieuwoudt – former Energy and Industrials Analyst at Citadel</li>
<li>John Pike – Partner at Elliott Investment Management</li>
</ul>
Today Elliott also filed its preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Elliott has submitted a non-binding proposal aimed at introducing annual director elections for the Phillips Board through a corporate governance policy. Over five of the last nine years, the Company has put forward multiple proposals to declassify the Board – all of which received strong stockholder support (including 99% of the shares voted in 2023) but failed to achieve the 80% supermajority threshold of shares outstanding to allow for a Charter amendment.
Elliott's proposal requests that the Board adopt a corporate governance policy, under which each incumbent director would be required to commit to a one-year term at each annual meeting – making all Board seats open annually. The policy is a practical approach to enhance Board accountability to shareholders, align with governance best practices and respond to the recurring strong support from Phillips stockholders for annual director elections in response to an onerous supermajority voting requirement to amend the Company's Charter. &nbsp;

The Bank of Montreal launched five new exchange-traded notes (ETNs) Thursday, expanding its range of leveraged and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/leveraged-etfs">inverse investment products</a>. 
The Canadian banking firm has also been quietly ramping up its Bitcoin ETF holdings, reflecting a growing interest in the cryptocurrency market.
For the uninitiated, ETNs are mostly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">similar to ETFs</a>. The difference is they invest in debt like bonds. Also, they attract lesser taxes because they do not pay dividends.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Fresh Lineup Of Leveraged And Inverse ETNs</h2>
BMO's latest ETNs target the <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/bmo-and-rex-shares-launch-us-big-banks-and-us-big-oil-leveraged-inverse-leveraged">energy </a>sector through the Solactive MicroSectors U.S. Big Oil Index, which consists of major oil players such as Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Valero Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VLO#NYSE">VLO</a>), Phillips 66 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSX#NYSE">PSX</a>), Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>), and Chevron (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>). The bank has introduced two ETNs for investors with opposing market views:
MicroSectors U.S. Big Oil 3X Leveraged ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRGU#NYSE">NRGU</a>), which seeks to generate three times the daily return of the index, and MicroSectors U.S. Big Oil -3X Inverse Leveraged ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NRGD#NYSE">NRGD</a>), which provides the inverse, delivering negative three times the index's daily movement.
These products allow investors to make tactical bets on the energy market, especially as oil prices remain highly sensitive to geopolitical and economic changes.
BMO hasn&#8217;t left the financial sector behind, with new leveraged and inverse ETNs tied to the Solactive MicroSectors U.S. Big Banks Index. This index tracks heavyweights such as JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and Bank of America.
The MicroSectors U.S. Big Banks 3X Leveraged ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNKU#NYSE">BNKU</a>) provides three times the daily return of the index. On the other hand, the MicroSectors U.S. Big Banks -3X Inverse Leveraged ETNs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNKD#NYSE">BNKD</a>) moves in the opposite direction, offering negative three times the daily performance.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BMO's Growing Crypto Bet</h2>
BMO has also recently made a significant push into Bitcoin ETFs. According to a February <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/20289730836265">report </a>from Binance, which cited an SEC filing by BMO, the bank has upped its Bitcoin ETF holdings from $13 million to $150 million, a staggering 1053.85% increase in just one quarter.
Regulatory filings submitted to the U.S. SEC on January 13 revealed that BMO had allocated $139 million to BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin ETFs, with the remaining $11 million divided among ETFs from ARK 21Shares, Grayscale, and Fidelity.
The leveraged and inverse ETNs cater to active traders looking for higher exposure to high-momentum sectors, while the Bitcoin ETF investment signals institutional optimism in crypto's long-term potential.

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has called out the tax reduction plans of the Donald Trump-led administration in an X post, terming them as an &#8220;absolutely shameless giveaway,&#8221; that could shoot up the deficit by $4.6 trillion.
What Happened: The possible tax cuts for rich individuals and lower corporate tax rates are likely to widen the U.S. trade deficit, which the Trump 2.0 administration would most likely fund from the tariffs imposed on its trading partners.

Why It Matters: Trump has threatened all its trading partners with &#8220;reciprocal tariffs,&#8221; while already having implemented 25% on steel and aluminum imports.
According to economists like Craig Shapiro, who is a macro strategist at the Bear Traps Report, tariffs are the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43587245/tariffs-are-the-only-way-to-fund-tax-cuts-without-deficit-expansion-argues-expert-as-it-takes-center-stage-in-donald-trumps-economic-plan">only way</a>" to fund tax cuts without expanding the federal deficit. 
Shapiro likened Trump&#8217;s governance to that of a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43763438/trump-acting-like-a-mafia-don-says-this-economist-as-uncertainty-mounts-businesses-hold-back-in-fear-of-unforeseen-economic-shifts">Mafia Don</a>,&#8221; saying businesses are now uncertain about the economy&#8217;s direction. He noted fading &#8220;initial euphoria&#8221; and a &#8220;wait-and-see&#8221; approach from business leaders due to unclear policies, tariffs, trade agreement uncertainty, and fluctuating government spending. &#8211;
Price Action: On Friday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) which track the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, closed mixed.

Trump's Tax Cut Could Add $4.6 Trillion To Deficit, With $48 Billion Tax Relief For Top 100 Firms: Robert Reich

U.S. stocks edged marginally lower on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated that the central bank is in no hurry to cut interest rates during his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee, offering little <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43628752/feds-powell-reiterates-no-hurry-to-cut-interest-rates-as-inflation-remains-somewhat-elevated">support for risk assets.</a>
Investors remained on edge ahead of Wednesday's key inflation report, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics set to release the January Consumer Price Index.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.1%, the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.2%, and small-cap stocks underperformed. Bucking the trend, the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a marginal 0.1% gain.
Company-wise, Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) surged 7%, after Vice President J.D. Vance indicated that artificial intelligence chips will be manufactured in the U.S.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) fell by over 4%, reaching the lowest levels in eleven weeks, pressured by weak January auto sales in China.
Geopolitical tensions flared as the European Union threatened countermeasures in response to President Donald Trump's announcement of 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel.
Long-dated Treasury yields moved higher, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.54%. Yet, the broader dollar index – as tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – weakened, down 0.2%. 
Gold paused for a breather, remaining flat at $2,900 per ounce. Oil prices inched up by 1%, eyeing the third straight session of gains. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) weakened 1.3% to $96,000.
