Other than profit-taking, can someone explain why energy stocks just cratered?

Down 79 cents is not cratering.

Probably the ban on Russian oil.

It'll be back up soon. Since the invasion, Exxon's stock has gone up about 10 points. It's up about 60% over the last 6 months.

It was 100% the NATO announcement. It makes no difference but they don't understand that...I just saw an idiot lose a $30,000 profit on a shitty O&G penny stock in like 15 minutes.

Generally speaking, when you are going to take a hit of 4 to 10 billion for the assets, leases and cash left in Russia; yes you're going to take a hit on stock prices.

Good luck with any dividends you were expecting too.

Having to drill and produce when material and labor prices are soaring means ++costs. Those costs are permanent. High oil prices aren't. So... drilling when the costs are high ends in lower profits in the future.

Oil isn't like something on the shelf. Big upsets in the production demand don't equal higher profits. Big jumps in demand equal huge CAPEX expenditures that won't be recouped with time.

Many of the world's biggest companies have abandoned Russia over its war in Ukraine. Here are the 10 largest that have cut ties with the country — 3 of them wrote off $30 billion in assets in just 3 days.

Why does it have to be explained beyond the most obvious explanation?

This.

The dow moved 800 points at about the same time. What is so dumb about all of this is that the NATO story was repackaged from an ABC interview with Zelensky from last night. "News" indeed.

go look at WTI and any of the indexes at 12:00 today. The timestamp on the AFP story is 18:00 in France. Not rocket science

I think realization that break in oil supply infrastructure(which means less volume and less gross), loss of assets in Russia, and general turmoil that is coming is going to put a massive squeeze on all company profits, regardless of sector.

Mid-day trading could be profit taking. Hedge funds scalping.

XLE and PPLT stock almost look identical. Coordinated profit taking.
