XOP: State Street SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF research
As of 09-22-2026
XOP shows attractive momentum with 3m return of 17.6% and 12m of 43.41%, and RS vs SPY 3m is a solid +11.28%, better than XLE. It sits above its 200-day average. However Energy is rated neutral not overweight, and the fund is not part of the sectors driving this risk-on regime (Tech, Comm Services, Discretionary, Financials). The recent 1m decline of -3.8% and lower AUM plus liquidity relative to XLE add some execution risk. This is a name to watch for confirmation rather than a core buy today.
