Show Notes
In this episode, Darren Cabral sits down with David Szybunka, Senior Portfolio Manager and Managing Director, and Nicholas Sokul, Vice President and Trader, to explore why energy’s recent strength is about far more than oil and gas prices. While commodities have been soft, energy equities have broken out, driven by more capital discipline, lower earnings volatility, and a powerful shift in fund flows. The team discusses how AI-driven power demand is reshaping the narrative, why a smaller sector in a much larger market creates outsized impact when capital rotates, and why valuations may go higher than many expect.
