Dealmaking activity is expected to surge in 2025 with the incoming presidential administration. Pickering Energy Partners Founder and chief investment officer Dan Pickering joins Market Domination to analyze implications for the energy sector.

Pickering states that, "without a doubt," President-elect Donald Trump's administration will be "friendlier" for the oil and gas sector. He points to ongoing consolidation and expects "more of the same" in 2025, adding, "I think you should expect companies looking at trying to get bigger [and] trying to capture the attention of investors."

"Expect to see more deals in 2025," Pickering says.

For investment strategies, Pickering recommends focusing on "companies that have a stock-specific story," highlighting Diamondback Energy (FANG), ConocoPhillips (COP), Chevron (CVX), and GE Vernova (GEV).
