Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
Investing.com - Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) has reiterated its Neutral rating and $12.00 price target on Crescent Energy (NYSE:CRGY), currently trading at $9.29, as the company shifts capital toward dry gas Eagle Ford assets. According to InvestingPro data, analysts’ targets range from $10 to $19, with the stock showing potential upside based on consensus estimates.
The investment firm expects CRGY’s oil volumes to peak in the second quarter of 2025, while barrel of oil equivalent (boe) volumes will continue growing in the third and fourth quarters as dry gas wells begin production.
Mizuho notes that investors appear concerned about the implications for 2026 oil volumes, with the firm forecasting a potential 4% year-over-year decline due to the company’s increased focus on dry gas development.
The research note highlights ongoing progress on non-core asset sales, with CRGY having closed approximately $90 million of its targeted $250 million year-to-date, while investors await updates on potential M&A activity and Eagle Ford consolidation.
Despite continued execution and business simplification, CRGY shares have underperformed peers year-to-date, with Mizuho maintaining its Neutral stance as the stock trades near or at a slight premium to industry peers.
