"Miller/Howard is highly constructive on long-term energy equities due to EV target rollbacks and surging data center power demands, using near-term price weakness to high-grade the portfolio."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, Miller/Howard Investments highlights a strong natural gas rally driven by cold winter weather and rising data center power demand, contrasted with drifting oil prices due to near-term oversupply. The firm sees a strong structural opportunity for pressure pumpers to supply mobile power generation to data centers under long-term contracts. Long-term oil demand is being revised upward as the US and Europe roll back EV targets. Miller/Howard took active steps to manage risks by trimming/selling companies with Russian pipeline exposure (CVX), natural gas pricing headwinds (EQT, RRC), complex M&A (SM), and potential competition from Venezuelan crude (CVE). Proceeds were reallocated to US midstream (OKE), high-quality oil producers on weakness (OXY, CHRD), and refiners (VLO, PSX). The portfolio currently has an indicated yield of 3.2%, supported down to $45/bbl oil.
