Financial, safety, and survival factors are important to consider while looking for stocks on the TSX index
Companies involved in the production of energy have performed well in recent years, beating the global equity market index, although that performance came with a higher level of volatility (see table below).
The characteristics of the oil and gas producers are well known. Periods of high commodity prices historically lead to large-scale production expansion and invariably to oversupply, lower prices, and poor profitability. This, combined with variations in macro-economic conditions, geopolitical turmoil and other unexpected events, exacerbates price fluctuations. This is evident in the higher volatility of the prices of the listed energy companies and occasional significant price declines or drawdowns.
The medium to long-term prospects for the energy industry were detailed in an in-depth report from the International Energy Agency (“IEA”) published in late 2025. In summary, energy demand will likely continue to grow for the next few decades, but most of the growth will be satisfied by renewable energy, nuclear energy and natural gas.
