Chesapeake price target lowered to $105 from $110 at Scotiabank

Scotiabank analyst Cameron Bean lowered the firm’s price target on Chesapeake to $105 from $110 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares. At the company level, Q2 earnings for the U.S. Natural Gas sector were “subdued” compared to the excitement earlier this year, the analyst tells investors. In light of the pullback in the sector and the bullish factors for 2025 and 2026 natural gas prices, the firm believes it is time to ramp up exposure to the natural gas space.
