IXC gives exposure to global oil and gas leaders, making it a useful tool during uncertain times. With energy prices staying firm and geopolitical risks still in play, the fund is increasingly seen as a way to balance portfolios.

## **A Natural Hedge Against Global Uncertainty**

IXC tends to benefit when energy prices rise, especially during supply disruptions or geopolitical tensions. The fund holds global majors like Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and Shell (SHEL), offering broader protection than U.S.-only energy ETFs.

It also provides a dividend yield of about 2.8%, adding steady income alongside price support. This can help offset weakness in other sectors during volatile periods.

Currently, IXC is trading at $55.14, which is essentially right at its 52-week high of $55.49, which is often viewed as a sign of strength. While other sectors have seen outflows, energy has attracted steady inflows, suggesting investors expect demand to remain strong into 2026.

## **What Does Wall Street Expect?**

According to TipRanks data, IXC has a Moderate Buy consensus based on 50 analyst ratings. The IXC average price target of $53.45 suggests a slight downside of about 3% from current levels, indicating limited near-term upside but stable expectations overall.
