Connection thesis
Energy sector earnings (HES +1.8 EPS expected on 2026-04-08) are scheduled directly into a geopolitical energy crisis. Oil tanker strikes + Mideast disruption + 4.35% 10Y yield creates a rare alignment: energy stocks have both (1) operational tailwinds (higher crude prices) and (2) financial headwinds (higher cost of capital from elevated rates). The market has been rallying into this, but earnings guidance on capex (which rises with higher rates) will be the tell. Negative EPS surprises (like RGP -0.0859, LFCR -0.2244) suggest broader cost-of-capital squeeze is real.
