The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, Ep. 56: Capitalizing on the oil price spike

Welcome to episode 56 of The 5-Minute Investor Podcast, where Stockhouse columnists Jonathon Brown and me, Trevor Abes, each deliver a 2.5-minute profile on stocks related to recent news stories with investment implications. This week, amid persistent tensions between the US, Israel and Iran, we’re modifying our format somewhat and examining which sectors are benefitting the most from the oil price spike, offering our listeners a high-quality stock to potentially capitalize on high prices and bolster portfolio returns.

Here are Jon’s show notes for episode 56:

• If oil stays elevated, which TSX sectors feel it first?
• Jon swapped his stock profile this week for a primer on how high oil prices affect major sectors of the economy, offering investors actionable advice about no-go zones, as well as areas where they’re likely to find stocks worth running through due diligence.

Here are Trevor’s show notes:

• A high-conviction oil stock for 2026 as Iran conflict persists.
• Trevor’s stock with a solid argument for leveraging high oil prices is Valeura Energy (TSX:VLE), an oil and natural gas explorer, developer and producer active in Thailand and Turkey, whose shares have appreciated by more than 2,000 per cent since 2021.

Here’s the most recent trio of episodes:

• Episode 53: Top non-Middle East oil stocks.
• Episode 54: Gold pullback plays.
• Episode 55: How to hedge against sky-high oil.
