California Resources stock price target raised by Mizuho to $64 on capital efficiencies

Investing.com - Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) raised its price target on California Resources (NYSE:CRC) to $64.00 from $61.00 on Thursday, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued based on its Fair Value analysis, with analysts’ targets ranging from $47 to $68.

The investment firm cited capital efficiencies and various regulatory and legislative pathways to value creation as key factors behind the price target increase.

Mizuho noted that California Resources is focusing on capital discipline, cash flow per share growth, and strategic flexibility across its asset base, with maintenance capital now expected to trend toward the low end of the $500-600 million range.

The company remains fully permitted to run a two-rig program through 2026, according to Mizuho’s analysis, with development pacing guided by relative return thresholds.

California Resources is emphasizing maximization of cash flow per share rather than absolute production growth, which contributed to Mizuho’s decision to raise its NAV-based price target while maintaining its Outperform rating.

These results highlight the company’s strong performance during the quarter. The earnings announcement reflects positively on CRC’s financial health and operational efficiency.
