The Energy sector ranks first out of the 11 sectors as detailed in our 4Q24 Sector Ratings for ETFs and Mutual Funds report. Last quarter, the Energy sector ranked first as well. It gets our Very Attractive rating, which is based on an aggregation of ratings of the 175 stocks in the Energy sector as of October 11, 2024. See a recap of our 3Q24 Sector Ratings here.
Figures 1 and 2 show the five best and worst rated ETFs and mutual funds in the sector. Not all Energy sector ETFs and mutual funds are created the same. The number of holdings varies widely (from 15 to 204). This variation creates drastically different investment implications and, therefore, ratings.
