Recent commentary on Devon Energy
SA contributor JR Research said in a February 5 report, “DVN is still in a medium-term downtrend, but appears well-supported at the $40 level. As long as that level of support holds robustly, DVN’s long-term uptrend bias shouldn’t be in danger of being scuppered… Notwithstanding my optimism, investors should note that the ongoing uncertainties in the natural gas market could deter a more pronounced upward re-rating. However, I believe much of it has been reflected. Also, demand uncertainties emanating from China could put a dampener on E&P stocks like Devon Energy, given their more exposed revenue cyclicality on commodity prices.”
SA contributor Brent Hecht wrote in a February 4 report, “Devon Energy projects Delaware Basin production to remain flat in 2024 which means overall company production will likely also remain level. Despite a temporary leveling in production growth, the company has turned its attention to capital efficiency and projects substantial FCF growth in 2024. This growth in FCF should support shares as dividend and share buybacks remain strong in 2024 as oil prices potentially bottom.”
