What Happened?
Devon Energy (DVN) stock is moving lower today even after Raymond James upgraded the company to Strong Buy and raised its price target from $62 to $72.
- That new target implies roughly 40% upside from current levels, and analysts are including dividends to get to a total return potential of about 43%.
- The upgrade comes down to one core argument. Devon Energy stock is trading at a meaningful discount to large-cap peers, and Raymond James thinks the gap is about to close.
- Here are the numbers that stand out. Devon’s estimated 2027 free cash flow yield sits around 13%. The peer average is closer to 8%. That’s a big difference, and analyst John Freeman believes management has the tools to fix it.
- Those tools include potential asset sales outside the Delaware Basin. The Anadarko and Appalachia assets are specifically called out as divestiture candidates.
- There’s also more than $5 billion in planned share buybacks, balance sheet flexibility, and the possibility of bolt-on acquisitions.
The pending merger with Coterra Energy adds another layer. Raymond James believes Devon Energy stock will benefit as management executes on the combined company’s $1 billion synergy target, which Freeman thinks could actually be exceeded.
AI is part of the story, too. Devon has been rolling out artificial intelligence tools across its operations, from gas lift optimization to condition-based maintenance.
The results are showing up. In 2025, the company hit 85% of its $1 billion optimization target ahead of schedule, beating production guidance while spending less capital than planned.
Production for 2026 is expected to come in around 1,364 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day. Capital spending is projected to be near $5 billion.
Weak regional gas pricing in the Permian Basin remains a headwind, but Freeman noted the market already understands that dynamic.
