CleaRank AI analysis of IEO
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Shares of iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (IEO) are trading at $151.38, and the trend remains up. The price sits 10.19% above its 50-day average of $137.38 and 27.68% above its 200-day average of $118.57. The fund is at 100% of its 52-week range, which means it is level with the 52-week high of $151.38. The 50-day average is 15.87% above the 200-day average.
On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 70.3, in overbought territory, with the MACD line positive. Every period on the chart shows a gain, with the price up 24.58% over the past three months, 36.93% over the past six months and 74.46% over the past year.
- The nearest level below the price is the 20-day EMA at $142.46; nothing sits above it until the 52-week high.
- A 14-day RSI of 70.3 places the reading in the overbought zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.37% a year, IEO charges $37.00 on every $10,000 invested.
IEO trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($137.38 and $118.57), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 50-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 20-day EMA at $142.46.
The RSI sits in overbought territory, so a pause is possible without necessarily ending the uptrend. A slide back out of the bullish zone would be the clearer sign that momentum is losing strength.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in IEO, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in IEO today could grow to about $20,906 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $87,464 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $4,997. The simulation models price only; at today's 1.66% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
IEO 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $203 for IEO by 2030 in the base case, from $151 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $82.24. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on IEO's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $104 | $163 | $256 | |
| 2028 | $92.50 | $175 | $333 | |
| 2029 | $86.24 | $189 | $414 | |
| 2030 | $82.24 | $203 | $503 | |
| 2031 | $79.56 | $219 | $602 |
