If you're interested in broad exposure to the Energy - Equipment and services segment of the equity market, look no further than the State Street SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Equipment & Services ETF (XES), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on June 19, 2006.
SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Equipment & Services ETF (XES) is rated Hold, reflecting a disciplined but capped recovery after a 64% run in the past year. XES's equal-weight structure dilutes exposure to top gas-and-power growth names, concentrating risk in US land drillers most exposed to capital discipline and efficiency gains. Current oil prices ($55–65 WTI) and declining upstream capex limit upside, while efficiency gains structurally mute drilling activity that XES's land-heavy book depends on.
