Expand Energy price target raised to $146 from $128 at Wolfe Research

Wolfe Research analyst Doug Leggate raised the firm’s price target on Expand Energy (EXE) to $146 from $128 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares as part of a 2025 outlook for the exploration and production refiners. The recent underperformance of the oils goes some way to “discounting” known commodity risk, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Wolfe’s bias continues to favor U.S. gas, but the firm is “incrementally positive” on oil exploration and production names.
