Small-cap stocks to buy is our topic for today. Such companies typically have a market capitalization (cap) of $300 million to $2 billion. Seasoned investors allocate a portion of their long-term portfolios to small-caps as these names have the potential to grow significantly. Yes, sales figures at small-caps typically come under pressure during inflationary periods. In addition, they may see margin concerns.

US Shale Defy Calls To Boost Output As They Funnel Profits To Shareholders US shale is still acting with restraint in terms of production growth despite President Biden''s calls to increase supplies to squash energy prices that were driven up due to soaring demand, decarbonization efforts, lack of refinery capacity, limited spare capacity, and, of course, geopolitical uncertainty surrounding Russia''s invasion of Ukraine. ConocoPhillips, Pioneer Natural Resources, and Devon Energy recorded soaring profits in the second quarter, though many of these top shale oil and gas producers were reluctant to boost capital spending to increase output despite elevated prices for crude, according to Financial Times . Executives of these companies are under pressure from Wall Street to return record profits in the form of dividends and share buybacks to investors rather than increasing capital expenditures to boost production. It comes after years of burning cash and issuing equity to survive the multiple boom-bust cycles that paralyzed the shale industry.
US Frack Growth Constrained In "Perfect Storm" Last week, Halliburton Co.''s CEO Jeff Miller warned hydraulic fracturing equipment is in short supply and could hamper fracking growth. Another oil/gas executive echoed the same warning this week and said bottlenecks could persist through 2023. "Availability of frac fleets is one of main bottlenecks impeding oil and natural as production growth for the next 18 months," Robert Drummond, chief executive officer of fracking firm NexTier Oilfield Solutions, told Reuters . Besides supply chain snarls, Drummond warned that capital constraints would make adding equipment to fields challenging. He said this imbalance could take several years to correct, adding that NexTier has no plans to expand fracking capacity this year. This development is another setback for the Biden administration''s efforts to increase US oil production to ease the worst inflation in forty years ahead of the midterm elections in November. US crude production is around 11.6 million barrels per day, below the pre-pandemic 12.3 million bpd in 2019, the latest data from the Energy Information Administration show.

Hello, Reader. The statement “Don’t fear the bear market” has a similar feel to Blue Öyster Cult’s 1976 hit “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” – why the heck wouldn’t we fear the reaper or the bear market? Bear markets, like the Grim Reaper, are not known for boding well; they are often thought to be harbingers of worst things to come… and you’d be out of your mind not to fear them – even a little bit. But I disagree. In fact, at the risk of you exiting out of this email and shutting your laptop or tossing your smartphone across the room, I believe that bear markets are a good thing . Bear markets are a bit like volcanic eruptions; the initial thought one has about both is a picture of chaos and destruction. But the soil around volcanoes is considered some of the most fertile on the planet, and that’s because the ash and magma following such terror is incredibly rich in nutrients. Source: Shutterstock You get where I’m going with this. While at their apex, bear markets elicit a feeling of panic and hopelessness, it’s what comes after that makes it all worthwhile.

Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is an oil extraction technique that involves high-pressure water blended with sand and chemicals, forced into underground rocks known as shale to capture oil and gas. The process was revolutionized by horizontal drilling in the 1980s and 2000s, transforming America into the world''s largest oil producer overnight. American shale drillers have shown how quickly they can boost oil production over the years. But after several years of divestment and decarbonization, the days of fracking roaring back to life…

WTI crude is trading down about $1 after climbing $5 yesterday. Looking ahead, the outlook will depend on how quickly oil companies can bring more production online and how badly they want to drill. The inventory of drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) is being quickly drawn down in the US and even with a rising rig count, that will make it tough to add oil. On both fronts, Halliburton is warning there will be disappointment. Here are some highlights from the conference call, which is ongoing now: As we look at the second half of the year, we are essentially sold out The oil and gas labor market is white hot Existing active equipment and experienced crews are in high demand and will continue to be into 2023 Spare OPEC capacity is at historic lows, the SPR releases is unsustainable and the risk to Russia remains high Post-pandemic economic expansion, energy security requirements and population growth will continue to drive oil demand It''s ''almost impossible'' to add frac capacity in 2022 Shares of the company are up 1.5%.
