The energy sector has benefitted from the high oil prices following the Russia-Ukraine war. Energy companies are engaged in producing, storing, refining, distributing, and selling energy.
Companies whose share price is not more than US$5 are called penny stocks. Also, these companies have a market capitalization of less than US$300 million.
Investments in penny stocks are deemed risky because of their limited capacity to withstand market swings. However, they offer tremendous growth potential compared to their larger peers.
As a result of the war, energy prices soared to a record high, and to stop further price rises, President Biden, on March 31, announced to release at least one million barrels of crude daily (BPD) from the emergency reserve for six months starting in May.
