Over the next month and a half, all our Model Portfolio and High Yield Energy List members are slated to report Q2 2021 earnings estimates.

Stocks in the S&P 500 Energy Index are expected to show 90.3% year-over-year growth in revenues in the current quarter; however, it’s crucial to remember that’s growth compared to historically depressed sales one year ago amid the height of the coronavirus lockdown recession and associated commodity price collapse.

That said, the consensus on Wall Street is expecting 3.8% and 27.4% year-over-year growth in revenues and earnings respectively for 2022 (next year). To put that in context, earnings for the energy sector are expected to grow at more than twice the S&P 500’s 12.4% next year while the information technology sector, long the index’s growth leader, is expected to show growth of just 11.2% in 2022.
