Neutral
Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Mark Lear raised the firm's price target on Vital Energy to $17 from $15 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm says the E&P investing environment remains challenging coming out of Q2, marked by a volatile oil price environment with increased geopolitical risk offset by higher OPEC+ supplies, while strong secular gas-demand trends have been offset by stubbornly high supplies and strong inventory builds. The long-term gas demand story, driven by power generation and data center buildout, got a shot in the arm earlier this week on the back of the PA Power and Innovation Summit, with $90B of announcement investment in power and data center buildout, Piper says. The firm prefers more defensive positioning in oil.

Reason
Wells Fargo raised the firm's price target on Vital Energy to $22 from $21 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm expects in-line production with mixed financial results for Q2 after marking to market. Key areas of focus include progress on cost reduction initiatives, initial results of J-Hook wells, service cost deflation and preliminary 2026 outlook, Wells adds.

downgrade
Outperform -> Underperform
Reason
Raymond James double downgraded Vital Energy to Underperform from Outperform without a price target. As the geopolitical risk premium unwinds on oil, the fundamentals support an oil price closer to $60 per barrel, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm anticipates an extended period of time at that level absent geopolitical risks re-surfacing or OPEC reversing course. Even after the selloff yesterday, Vital is easily the best performing stock in the group over the past month, contends Raymond James. However, the firm says Vital is on the lower side of inventory life in the Permian and has higher leverage than the SMID-cap average. It calls Vital the highest beta name in its coverage.

Reason
Piper Sandler lowered the firm's price target on Vital Energy to $15 from $16 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares following Q1 2025 results that came in stronger than consensus estimates driven by lower costs. The firm updates its type curves for leading edge well performance data that incorporates longer lateral development across the company's Permian portfolio, and struggles to see half-cycle break-evens for the bulk of the portfolio much below $70/bbl WTI.

Reason
Mizuho lowered the firm's price target on Vital Energy to $23 from $29 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm updated integrated oil models post Q1 earnings with three upgrades and one downgrade. Mizuho sees potential weakness for global oil prices but expects gas and refining fundamentals to improve over the next 12 months. The firm are lowering its oil price outlook by 10%-11%, saying accelerating oversupply will likely overshadow any stabilization of demand. It raised its U.S. natural gas price forecast over the same period by 15%. saying structural undersupply continues. The analyst also sees improved U.S. refining fundamentals as the inventory outlook remains tight and oil prices weaken potentially lifting refining margins. Mizuho adding ConocoPhillips (COP) to its "Top Picks" alongside Coterra (CTRA) and Chord Energy (CHRD) and removed Chevron (CVX). The firm upgraded Antero Resources (AR), HF Sinclair (DINO) and Delek US (DK) to Outperform, while downgrading Murphy Oil (MUR) to Neutral.

Piper Sandler analyst Mark Lear lowered the firm's price target on Vital Energy to $16 from $23 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares.

In E&P, Piper continues to look for a balance of operational flexibility, deep high-return inventory runways and low reinvestment rates through FY26.
