When Covid 19 restrictions hit hard in 2020, the markets were on free fall. But more so, oil saw a sharp decline, at one point hitting negative figures. But as most economies have rebounded, oil has surged.
Speaking of energy stocks, as the oil prices continue to boom, the following stocks in the energy sector should be worth considering:
Exelon Corporation (EXC)
Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ:EXC) focuses on the production of natural gas and electric power as well. It is a company based in Chicago but has a presence in over 48 states across the US. Exelon also operates in Canada and remains a leading energy company in North America.

Although Exelon is not directly involved in oil and gas drilling, its energy business relies heavily on good oil prices and so far, things are indeed looking up. At press time, its stock was selling for around $41.
Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK)
