Stock market today: S&P 500 falls as government shutdown, trade jitters persist
Investing.com - UBS lowered its price target on Coterra Energy (NYSE:CTRA) to $29.00 from $30.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $22.85, near its 52-week low, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is undervalued, with analyst targets ranging from $27 to $39.
The price target reduction follows what UBS described as "a challenging operational" first half of 2025 for the energy company.
Despite the price target cut, UBS expects oil volume improvements in the second half of 2025 to keep Coterra Energy on track to meet its full-year 2025 guidance.
The firm anticipates both oil and total volumes trending toward the high end of guidance for the third quarter of 2025, with fourth-quarter projections suggesting approximately 10% quarter-over-quarter oil growth.
UBS also expects Coterra Energy will pay off the remaining $650 million on its term loan in the second half of 2025, before increasing its stock buyback program in 2026.
