Energy stocks are surging as data center demand for power is at an all-time high. According to research from Bank of America , electricity demand could soar at a pace that is five times faster over the coming decade compared to the past decade. On top of this, the ongoing conflict in Iran is driving oil and gas prices through the roof, putting energy squarely in the spotlight.
Companies like Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) , Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) , and Cheniere Energy (NYSE: LNG) have already seen remarkable gains of 24% or more to start 2026. Here's why these energy stocks are quietly becoming trades of the year.
