About this screen

The energy sector covers oil and gas producers, integrated majors, refiners, pipeline operators, drillers and oilfield service firms. Commodity prices drive their earnings, so profits and share prices move in long cycles. This screen combines size, a moderate P/E and a meaningful dividend, the mix many investors look for when they want energy exposure with income and value characteristics rather than a bet on a single commodity price.

Results are sorted by dividend yield. Energy earnings peak when oil and gas prices are high, which makes trailing P/E look lowest near the top of a cycle, so compare it with forward P/E in the Valuation tab. The payout ratio and FCF yield show whether the dividend is covered by cash flow. These criteria are a filter for further research, not a ranking of which stocks will perform best.

Best Energy Stocks to Buy in 2026 FAQ

Which large energy stocks pay the highest dividends at a low P/E?

As of the October 29, 2026 close, 17 energy stocks worth over $5 billion had a P/E of 15 or less and a yield of at least 3%. The highest yields were Hess Midstream LP (HESM), Frontline Ltd. (FRO) and Western Midstream Partners, LP (WES).

Why do energy stocks often have low P/E ratios?

Investors expect commodity-driven earnings to fall when prices revert, so they pay less for each dollar of current profit. A low P/E can therefore reflect peak-cycle earnings rather than a bargain.

What are variable dividends in the energy sector?

Some producers pay a fixed base dividend plus a variable amount tied to free cash flow each quarter. Total payments rise when oil and gas prices are high and shrink when they fall, so trailing yields can overstate future income.
