After a stellar end to the second quarter, investors may be reassessing their portfolios. Schaeffer’s Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of 25 worst S&P 500 Index (SPX) stocks for July is a great tool to avoid any potential fallacies. Below, let's dig deeper into Coterra Energy Inc (NYSE:CTRA), which is one of the worst energy names to own this month.

According to White's data, CTRA averaged a 1.5% loss in July over the last decade, settling higher only twice during that period. The equity is also one of six oil, gas, and coal names on the list. 

Worst July 2025 2

Coterra Energy stock was last seen 0.6% higher to trade at $25.19, but yesterday marked a sixth-straight loss, just had its worst its worst quarter since September 2019, and only scored three monthly wins in 2025. The shares also carry modest year-to-date and year-over-year losses, and are now trading below several key long- and short-term moving averages.

CTRA Intraday

An unwinding of optimism in the options pits could pressure CTRA further. The stock's 10-day call/put volume ratio of 12.31 over at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) stands higher than 93% of readings from the past year.
