Where to buy them

Frequently asked questions
How many energy stocks are in this list?
5, drawn from our US exchange-listed universe and spread across 1 sector. 5 of them pay a dividend.
Is this a list of energy stocks to buy?
No. It is a screen — a defined, reproducible filter over a stated universe. A screen tells you which companies share a characteristic; it says nothing about whether the price you would pay today is a sensible one. Nothing here is investment advice.
What is the main risk with energy stocks?
A commodity price you do not control sets the whole P&L. Energy equities can fall 40% without a single company-specific event.
How do I actually buy these from outside the US?
You need a broker that accepts your country of residence and gives you access to US exchanges. To own the shares outright, that usually means an international stockbroker plus a W-8BEN form to claim your treaty rate on dividend withholding.
