"North American energy equities remain highly resilient and structurally supported by shale's fast-decline rate and disciplined supply calibration, keeping the fund constructive on the sector's yield and valuation."
Executive Summary
In its 3Q 2025 Quarterly Report, Miller/Howard argues that despite flat crude oil prices and declining natural gas prices, energy equities remain resilient due to shale's fast-decline profile and supply-side fragility. If global drilling stopped, production would fall by 5.9 Mbpd (6%) annually compared to just 3% twenty-five years ago. The portfolio currently yields an indicated 2.9%, supported down to $45/bbl oil. The firm executed tactical shifts during the quarter, capitalizing on refinery gains in HF Sinclair to fund natural gas and NGL producer Antero Resources, and adding to wastewater remediation leader Select Water Solutions following peer acquisition news in the Permian Basin.
