Future finance oil prices rebounding towards $85 per

Oil prices rebounding towards $85 per barrel could lift energy sector EPS by 8% in Q4, prompting "future finance" strategists to raise fair-value targets for ExxonMobil and Chevron. Seasonal demand patterns indicate strong potential for dividend growth plays in the sector. “We’re entering an unknown future,” analyst Vladimíra Dvořáková from the Czech Technical University in Prague told Czech public television. Reinvention requires rethinking the operating model altogether—well beyond technology. Some companies are moving away from fixed annual budgets in favor of rolling forecasts and event-triggered planning. Take Hilti, for example: It replaced static budgets with three rolling forecasts per year and relative performance metrics. Its bonus system is tied to external benchmarks, not internal targets. While Hilti’s planning system remains human-led, it is built for responsiveness, allowing the organization to adapt quickly to macroeconomic shifts, industry disruption, or internal innovation. Latest market sentiment points towards a bullish Q3 outlook in the tech sector, with "future finance" forecasts showing Nasdaq could reach 15,500 if AI and semiconductor earnings beat expectations. Traders note strong inflows into ETF funds and increased options activity ahead of next week’s CPI release.
