Where energy stocks reprice.
Two scheduled event types matter most for energy: OPEC+ ministerial meetings (every couple of months — sometimes the biggest single-day catalyst of the year) and EIA weekly inventory reports (every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30 AM ET).
Upcoming events
Upcoming earnings
Single-stock catalysts — when individual energy names report. EPS estimates are consensus from Finnhub. Hour tags: BMO = before market open · AMC = after market close · DMH = during market hours.
Recent earnings results
Past 30 days. Beats and misses are computed against consensus EPS — useful for spotting which names are running ahead of expectations.
What each event type does
OPEC+ ministerial meetings
Three flavors, each with different market impact:
- The full ministerial meeting — every six months (May/June and November/December). This is where OPEC and its allies set production quotas for the next 6–12 months. Historically the largest single-day catalyst for crude prices. (Sometimes referenced by its acronym ONOMM.)
- The compliance review meeting — every two months. Reviews how well member countries are sticking to existing quotas. Less consequential than the full meeting, but watched for policy-shift signals. (Sometimes referenced as JMMC.)
- The eight-country voluntary cuts meeting — monthly check-in among the eight countries (led by Saudi Arabia and Russia) currently making voluntary production cuts on top of the official quota.
The next major full ministerial is scheduled for early summer. Agenda items typically include production baselines, capacity reassessments, and decisions on extending or unwinding voluntary cuts.
EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report
Released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration every Wednesday at 10:30 AM ET (delayed to Thursday during US federal holiday weeks). Key data points: crude oil inventory level, week-over-week change, refinery utilization, gasoline and distillate stocks, imports, exports.
Why it matters: changes in crude inventory are a real-time read on supply/demand balance. A surprise build (inventory up more than expected) typically pressures crude prices and E&P stocks. A surprise draw rallies them.
EIA Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report
Released every Thursday at 10:30 AM ET (delayed to Friday during holiday weeks). Reports working gas in underground storage by region. Critical for gas-weighted E&P names — EQT, AR, RRC, EXE, CTRA — because Henry Hub price moves on storage surprises.
What's not on the calendar
- Baker Hughes rig count — every Friday. Useful as a 4-week trend for tracking producer activity, but rarely a single-day market mover.
- Earnings dates — significant for individual names but not "sector catalysts" in the OPEC+ / EIA sense. Use Finnhub or your broker's calendar.
- OPEC monthly oil market report — published mid-month with supply/demand forecasts. Less market-moving than the inventory data.
- Eight-country monthly meetings — these happen but OPEC doesn't always announce dates in advance.
