On July 29, Devon rose 3.2% in regular trading, trading at approximately $44.05 per share, with turnover of $16.59 million. The rally was driven by elevated oil prices amid intensifying Middle East geopolitical conflicts, which lifted the broader Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector.
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have resurfaced, with petroleum flows reportedly dropping to roughly 70% of normal levels as tanker attacks deter shipping operators. Brent crude briefly reclaimed $80 per barrel amid supply disruption fears. Analysts have warned that existing supply buffers—including alternative pipeline routes and strategic reserve releases—may be depleted in coming months, potentially triggering sharper price spikes.
The sector moved broadly higher, with ConocoPhillips up 3.43%, EOG Resources up 3.44%, Canadian Natural Resources up 3.62%, and Expand Energy up 2.45%. Additionally, Devon is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on August 4 after market close.
