Chord Energy stock price target raised by BofA Securities to $123

Investing.com - BofA Securities has raised its price target on Chord Energy Corp (NASDAQ:CHRD) to $123.00 from $112.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The $6.06 billion market cap company, which currently trades at $106.54, has earned a "GREAT" financial health rating according to InvestingPro analysis, with notably strong profitability and cash flow metrics.

The price target increase follows Chord Energy’s September 15 announcement of plans to acquire a $550 million bolt-on from XTO Energy, with an effective date of September 1 and expected closing by year-end.

The acquisition will add 90 net 10,000 lateral foot equivalent locations and 9 mboed (78% oil) of low decline (23%) production to Chord Energy’s portfolio, according to BofA Securities.

Chord Energy plans to finance the transaction with cash on hand and capacity on its revolver, with post-transaction adjusted net leverage expected to be between 0.5x and 0.6x.

The acquisition will shift Chord Energy’s capital return strategy from 75%+ to 50%+, BofA Securities noted in its analysis while reiterating its Buy rating on the stock.
