Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Inpex is a beneficiary of demand for energy. Behind coal, gas has for decades been the fastest-growing primary energy segment globally. Inpex’s LNG projects are favorably located on Asia's doorstep.

Bears

The global economy may cool and demand for energy would likely follow suit, particularly if Chinese growth rates taper. Its oil assets in the Middle East have sovereign risk.
