Bull & Bear analysis

San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (SJT) is a notable player in the energy sector, operating primarily in the natural gas and oil production and royalty business. As a trust, it captures revenue from oil and gas production, distributing much of that income to unitholders. The company is positioned within the broader energy transition theme, as natural gas is viewed as a transitional fuel amid the push for renewable energy sources, yet it faces significant volatility given the fluctuations in oil and gas prices.
