Ecopetrol Has Considerable Risks But Also A Lot Of Upside In Case Of Positive Changes
My view on Ecopetrol has shifted from pessimistic to optimistic, despite existing risks, due to its low valuation and strategic focus on oil and gas.

The company's Q3 2024 results show weaker sales and net income due to lower prices and demand, but oil and gas production reached new records.
