Oil industry experts now believe disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint for roughly one-fifth of the world's daily oil supply—will linger through the end of 2026, keeping oil supplies tight and prices elevated.

## Idea

The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil shipping lane. If disruptions truly persist through year end, oil prices are likely to stay well above where they were before the crisis began. Higher oil prices flow almost directly into bigger profits for producers like Exxon, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips—they can pump oil at the same cost but sell it for more. These large oil companies also tend to pay hefty dividends, so investors get paid to wait while the supply story plays out. History shows that during sustained supply shocks, energy stocks can rally for months, not days.
