“Given the potential for oil prices to contract upon resolution of the Middle East conflict, we chose to have limited exposure in the Energy sector with a single position in HF Sinclair – which operates branded gas stations and also has a refining segment. The blowout in crack spreads (measures how much refiners earn from turning oil into diesel and gasoline) has resulted in windfall profits for Sinclair in recent quarters, with the stock more than doubling in 2026. Given the reduced upside, we sold the position in favor of Expand Energy, which is the largest natural gas producer in the U.S.”

“Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: EXE) is the largest independent natural gas producer in the United States, with operations concentrated in the Marcellus Formation in Pennsylvania and West Virginia and the Haynesville Shale in Louisiana. With its 2024 merger with Southwestern Energy, Expand Energy significantly increased its production capacity. The company’s strategic focus on high-volume, low-cost natural gas production positions it as a critical supplier to the AI and robotics supply chain, where demand for reliable, scalable energy is surging due to the proliferation of data centers and edge computing infrastructure. Overall, EXE is a foundational player in powering the next generation of AI-driven technologies in the US. As we’ve highlighted, Energy is one of the three core Pillars of Power – cheap, abundant Energy is critical for Technology to flourish. In the US, natural gas is and will be a key ‘bridge’ Energy source to Power this Technological Revolution. EXE is a relatively new addition to the portfolio (late Q1/early Q2) and is one of the key companies enabling the US to lead in the AI Revolution.”
