Investing.com - RBC Capital has reiterated its Outperform rating and $113.00 price target on ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), citing an inflection point in the company’s organic free cash flow enhancement. Currently trading at $95.42, COP appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis, with analyst targets ranging from $100 to $139.
The investment firm notes that major project spending for ConocoPhillips is stepping down in the third quarter of 2025, marking the beginning of improved cash flow generation.
RBC highlights that the company’s "wall of relative FCF growth" extending to 2029 has expanded to over $7 billion, bolstered by more than $1 billion in operational synergies and a similar amount related to cash tax savings through the Organic Base Business Buying Allowance (OBBBA).
The firm also points out that working capital headwinds are "mostly in the rear-view mirror" for ConocoPhillips, removing a previous constraint on financial performance.
RBC further acknowledges ConocoPhillips’ "top tier operational performance," noting the company maintained unchanged production levels despite completing an asset sale and experiencing changes to royalties on the Surmont project.
