Three energy stocks to buy for fueling profits have been trending upward despite a recent market dip in technology and Bitcoin.
The three energy stocks to buy for fueling profits do not compete with each other but each is championed by a market forecaster who has a proven track record of ascending share prices. For investors who are open to purchasing stocks that may not be high-flyers, but positive performers, this trio of investments may be of interest.
When some industries like technology or cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin lose favor with investors, others can gain popularity. That situation may be about to unfold with energy investments.
Three Energy Stocks to Buy for Fueling Profits: NVGS
Navigator Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NVGS) describes itself as the owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of “handysize liquefied gas carriers” and a global leader in the seaborne transportation services of petrochemical gases, such as ethylene and ethane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and ammonia. The company also has a 50% share in a joint venture for an ethylene export marine terminal at Morgan’s Point, Texas, on the Houston Ship Channel.
The stock has risen more than 10% since it was recommended in the Five Star Trader advisory service led by Mark Skousen, PhD, who also heads the Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter. Skousen also is a Presidential Fellow and economics professor at Chapman University, as well as an occasional contributor of op-eds for the Wall Street Journal.
Mark Skousen leads Five Star Trader and Forecasts & Strategies.
Navigator’s fleet now consists of 56 semi- or fully refrigerated liquefied gas carriers, 25 of which are ethylene and ethane capable. The company plays a key role in the liquefied gas supply chain for energy companies, industrial consumers and commodity traders.
In addition, Navigator has sophisticated vessels that provide an efficient and reliable “floating pipeline,” its officials said. Navigator’s fundamentals have “strengthened materially” in the past year with both its shipping fleet and ethylene export terminal performing well to produce consistent profitability, they added.
As energy infrastructure grows, demand for Navigator’s existing ethylene capable carriers should continue to improve, according to the company.

Three Energy Stocks to Buy for Fueling Profits: UEC
Bryan Perry, whose Cash Machine investment newsletter offers subscribers an average dividend yield of more than 10% before adding gains from capital appreciation, is a Wall Street veteran who more than doubled the initial investment he produced in a fledgling uranium company to members of his Micro-Cap Stock Trader advisory service. His recommendation of Uranium Energy Corporation (NYSE: UEC) in Feb. 2024 soared 120.13% by the time he advised its sale on October 16, 2025.

Additional good news came on Nov. 7 with the U.S. government decision to add uranium in the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Final 2025 Critical Minerals List, as published in the Federal Register. The designation recognized uranium’s “essential role in America’s energy and national security” and resulted in praise from Amir Adnani, president and chief executive officer of Uranium Energy Corporation.
Particularly, praise was offered for U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and the U.S. Geological Survey for taking an “important step” toward fulfilling President Trump’s vision of restoring America’s leadership in critical minerals and achieving true U.S. energy dominance, Adnani said in a statement.
“UEC is heeding that call with ramp-up and development activities at our three licensed hub-and-spoke production platforms in Texas and Wyoming,” Adnani continued. “In parallel, we’re advancing the United States Uranium Refining & Conversion Corp. to help restore and expand America’s domestic nuclear fuel conversion capabilities.”
The Energy Act of 2020 allows the Secretary of the Interior to designate a mineral as critical when another federal agency, such as the Department of Energy or another relevant agency, determines it is strategic and critical to U.S. defense or national security. The Department of Energy recommended uranium’s inclusion, citing its importance in energy production and defense applications, and the Department of Defense also emphasized its national security significance.

Three Energy Stocks to Buy for Fueling Profits: COP
Conoco Phillips (NYSE: COP) is a “solid energy company” that is expanding its international liquid gas (LG) portfolio, said Michelle Connell, who heads Dallas-based Portia Capital Management. COP has strong fundamentals, she added.
“When they announced their latest earnings on November 6, they reiterated that they’ll be adding an additional $7 billion in free cash flow between now and 2029,” Connell counseled. “These monies will be the result of an expanding international liquid natural gas (LNG) portfolio and the Willow project, an oil production facility in Alaska.”
Michelle Connell heads Portia Capital Management.
In the same Nov. 6 earnings announcement, COP increased its dividend by 8% and reiterated a goal of retiring $6 billion of the company’s shares, Connell continued. Through November, the company had retired $4 billion in stock. Embedded in this $6 billion share retirement is the company’s desire to retire the shares issued for the acquisition of Marathon Oil over the next few years, she added.
COP’s increasing free cash flow reflects an energy company with solid fundamentals, Connell told me. The company offers a current dividend yield of 3.84%, supported by the increasing free cash flow and the declining share count. Connell said she expects COP’s dividend yield to increase substantially in the years ahead.

Geopolitical Risk Stays Significant
President Trump and his diplomats are trying to forge a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia, but it remains unfinalized. An earlier draft called for Ukraine, the country whose sovereign territory has been invaded, to relinquish some of its precious land to the aggressor, Russia. Such proposals in the past have been most unpopular with the Ukrainian people, who have sacrificed greatly to defend their freedom and protect themselves against the yoke of oppression Russia exerted after World War II on its nearby nations.
Claims to the contrary by Russia’s leaders belie the reality of increased prosperity for the countries that have the greatest freedom. Skousen, who also is the Doti-Spogli Chair of Free Enterprise at Chapman University in Orange County, California, is a free-market economist who travels the world to praise freedom as a key to opening opportunities for prosperity across the globe.
A war zone remains in Ukraine after Russia invaded the nation nearly four years ago. President Trump has advocated that other countries defang Russia’s war machine and boycott its oil. The idea has had gained support, but not enough to stop the war so far.
Despite Trump’s call for peace and an end of the killing, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his empire-building cadre of leaders remain undeterred. The war is threating to worsen further if Putin and his comrades in the country’s leadership continue to keep ignoring damage to their nation’s economy and force its citizens to fight and die, despite negligible gains.
Russia’s miliary strikes keep killing children, women and elderly civilians in Ukraine with little apparent regard for human life. The latest resulted in seven deaths this week when civilian sites were struck in Ukraine’s Capitol far from the front lines. Russia’s tactic of charging forward to gain portions of Ukraine’s territory after Russia’s initial invasion nearly four years ago has been criticized by military strategists around the world. Thus far, Russia’s leaders have opted for a protracted war, not prosperity aided by new trade agreements that President Trump has proposed.
