EXE Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Expand Energy Corp has demonstrated significant production growth, with a remarkable 87% quarter-over-quarter and 142% year-over-year increase in 4Q24 to 6.41 Bcfpd, aligning well with consensus estimates. The company is poised for further growth, with a forecasted 10% increase in production in 1Q25 and a robust average of 2.6 Bcfpd for 2025, supported by the completion of 115 wells in NE Appalachia. Additionally, the acceleration of expected synergies from the SWN acquisition, projected to save $400 million in 2025, alongside a commitment to enhance shareholder returns through dividends and share buybacks, reinforces a solid outlook for the company as it capitalizes on a strengthening natural gas market.
Bears say
Expand Energy Corp faces a negative outlook primarily due to concerns regarding initial well productivity, which, if lower than anticipated, could lead to reduced cash flows and net asset value (NAV) estimates. Additionally, the company's significant capital expenditures in 4Q24, reported at $593 million and 10% below consensus, raise concerns about the efficiency of its investments, especially with projected production declines of 11% in SW Appalachia for 1Q25. Moreover, various risks including commodity price volatility, inflationary pressures on operational costs, regulatory uncertainties, and potential execution challenges further complicate the company's financial outlook, jeopardizing overall performance and growth prospects.
