State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in the Energy Select Sector Index. In seeking to track the performance of the Index, the Fund employs a replication strategy, which means that the Fund typically invests in substantially all of the securities represented in the Index in approximately the same proportions as the Index. Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 95%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Index. The Index includes companies that have been identified as Energy companies by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS ), including securities of companies from the following industries oil, gas and consumable fuels and energy equipment and services. The Index is one of eleven Select Sector Indexes developed and maintained in accordance with the following criteria (1) each of the component securities in the Index is a constituent of the S&P 500 Index and (2) the Index is calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC ("S&P DJI") based on a proprietary "modified market capitalization" methodology.
State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF trades on the ARCA stock market under the symbol XLE.
As of January 5, 2026, XLE stock price climbed to $46.89 with 88,100,520 million shares trading.
XLE has a beta of 0.70, meaning it tends to be less sensitive to market movements. XLE has a correlation of 0.24 to the broad based SPY ETF.
XLE has a market cap of $27.76 billion. This is considered a Large Cap stock.
In the last 3 years, XLE traded as high as $49.49 and as low as $37.25.
XLE has underperformed the market in the last year with a return of +10.6%, while SPY returned +17.4%. This shows that you would have done better investing in the overall market (through SPY) over the last year than in XLE shares. However, XLE has outperformed the market in the last 3 month and 2 week periods, returning +6.3% and +6.1%, while SPY returned +3.1% and +0.4%, respectively. This indicates XLE has been having a stronger performance recently.
XLE support price is $44.97 and resistance is $46.33 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that XLE shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
