Top 2 Energy Stocks That Are Ticking Portfolio Bombs

Here’s an in‑depth look at two energy sector stocks that could spell trouble for momentum‑focused investors as of January 15, 2026. Benzinga staff writer Avi Kapoor highlights that these names are showing elevated relative strength index (RSI) readings — a technical signal that suggests they may be overbought and due for a pullback. First on the list is SLB Ltd (NYSE: SLB). The stock has climbed roughly 21% over the past month and recently hit a 52‑week high near $47.72, fueled in part by reports that SLB is in discussions with U.S. officials and Chevron to broaden operations in Venezuela. Its RSI sits above 70, a traditional threshold indicating overbought conditions, while shares closed around $46.97 recently. The second stock flagged is Suncor Energy Inc (NYSE: SU). Back on January 2, Goldman Sachs analyst Neil Mehta reaffirmed a Buy rating and lifted Suncor’s price target from $46 to $48. Over the past month, SU’s shares have climbed about 14%, with a recent 52‑week high over $50. Yet, like SLB, its RSI is pushing high, suggesting short‑term risks may outweigh momentum. Both companies are notable names in the energy space, but traders relying on momentum indicators should be cautious as technical signals point to potential weakness ahead. Investors are reminded that RSI readings above 70 often warrant careful monitoring for trend reversals. #EnergyStocks #MarketRisks #RSIIndicator #InvestingAlert #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
