One Sector Is Crushing Everything Else in 2026 -- Here's the Best $1,000 Buy in It
2026-04-17 13:20:00 ET
The energy sector has been red-hot in 2026, with the S&P Energy Select Sector index up nearly 25%, as of this writing. The sector has been buoyed by higher oil prices, stemming from the ongoing war with Iran and the closure of the important Strait of Hormuz.
However, if you're looking for an oil play not tied directly to the near-term direction of oil prices, one strong option is an under-the-radar master limited partnership (MLP) named Genesis Energy (NYSE: GEL) . A $1,000 investment is a great place to start with this investment, which has some strong upside potential from here, but which carries a little extra risk given its current balance sheet.
