With the changing of the guard in Washington, D.C., one thing is for sure. President Trump has made it clear that the United States will employ our vast natural resources as a building block for more investment and revenue to lower energy prices for struggling consumers who are still fighting the ever-present sticky inflation. With the country needing strong backing for the energy industry, one part of the sector that looks to benefit regardless of spot pricing is the oilfield services industry. These companies drill, dig, frack, and do all ancillary extraction items and processes that get the oil and natural gas out of the ground and to consumers.

Many of the top dividend-paying oilfield services stocks lagged as the sector dramatically underperformed versus the S&P 500 in 2024. The good news for investors is that the sanctions placed on Russia and Iran going forward will likely be a massive boost for the industry.

Four top companies look like outstanding ideas for 2025. And all are rated Buy at some of the top firms on Wall Street that we cover.
