Oil stocks are currently trading at a $40 premium due to geopolitical risks stemming from the US-Iran conflict, according to BeInCrypto. ExxonMobil, Diamondback Energy, and Occidental Petroleum have reported Q1 2026 results, each handling the geopolitical premium differently. ExxonMobil's diversified approach saw its stock correct from $176.48 to $141.96, while Diamondback Energy's high-beta setup shows potential upside if oil prices remain elevated. Occidental Petroleum is most exposed to a premium fade, with JP Morgan forecasting Brent crude to average $60/bbl in 2026.
