No single oil stock or list of stocks will suit all investors, and we all have different goals and needs. Always remember that past performance does not guarantee future results.

We used Finder’s proprietary algorithm to identify the best US oil stocks listed on the Nasdaq and NYSE based on price, performance, profit, revenue and dividends. Our fundamental analysis filters stocks by taking into account historical prices, dividends, revenue growth, (low) price volatility and profit margins.
To avoid smaller, more speculative oil and gas stocks, we only include companies with a market cap of more than USD $1 billion. In order to better compare historical data, we filtered out oil stocks that have been listed for less than 5 years.
We do not guarantee the performance or returns of any investment. Our methodology might filter out some good stocks, so our decision to include or exclude a stock from this list does not indicate whether it’s a good or bad investment. For more info about our algorithm, check out our stock ranking page.
The algorithm was last updated 27 January 2022. This list and data was compiled April 5, 2022.
