Reason
Mizuho raised the firm's price target on Chord Energy to $150 from $142 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm adjusted ratings and targets in the exploration and production group as part of its 2026 outlook. While sentiment for U.S. oil and gas names is negative on oil market oversupply and high gas storage, there is "underappreciated value" in the group, particularly in exploration and production on longer-term fundamentals that could start becoming realized in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuho suggests a reallocation of risk toward oil E&Ps with a selective bias in gas stocks. It turned more neutral on refining.

Reason
William Blair initiated coverage of Chord Energy with an Outperform rating and no price target. With the stock's underperformance relative to peers, investors are missing Chord's "low-well breakeven, solid free cash flow, and pristine balance sheet," the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes the company will acquire a large-scale Bakken asset. Chord's "capital discipline ensures down-cycle stability," Blair contends. It thinks the stock's weighted fair value is $129 per share, or 42% upside from current levels.

Reason
Piper Sandler lowered the firm's price target on Chord Energy to $165 from $167 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm updated exploration and production models post the Q3 reports. The sector posted strong results with operations, efficiencies and costs trending in the right direction, but the oil macro environment "still doesn't feel great," the analyst tells investors in a research note. Piper thinks the rally in gas equities "has run a bit too far."
