Energy IB Outlook?
Anyone have any thoughts how IB in the Energy space will play out with the current state of the market? Should we expect headcount reductions / hiring freezes? Curious if anyone has heard anything.

An AI query requires 25x the amount of power than a Google search. Demand for energy has never been greater. Energy will not be affected by the same macroeconomic forces that will re-order the rest of the global economy.
agreed
I guess the real question isn't the effect on power demand or demand for hydrocarbons, but really the effect on M&A and raising capital. Will companies really be selling assets when oil prices are at $50-55 a barrel? At what price point will deals begin to be canceled and essentially slow down deal flow?
Large E&P’s still need to replace reserves and oil majors still need to fund their dividends through their cash flows from traditional upstream/midstream/downstream operations. Also they need the cash flow support of traditional O&G to fund new energy technologies. These fundamentals will likely remain the case for a long time, in spite of 50-60/bbl oil in the near term.
Gas and power yes absolutely. Oil maybe less so, although it's going to be around for a lot longer than most expect. There's still transactions in coal.
Since Jon Hamm died it’s been turmoil. Thankfully Billy Bob Thornton and the board are shoring up capital, but if OPEC increases production we’re in trouble. Also insert Mexican joke written by 50 yo white guy here.
Energy IB is alive and well. Renewable / sustainability stuff is dead (has been since 2021/2022 tbh)
Have you seen the price of oil? Upstream is getting hammered. Midstream and downstream are doing v well. Don’t even get me started on energy transition.
