Chesapeake Energy stock price target cut to $3.50 from $4.00 at CFRA

Chesapeake Energy's stock jumps after results; analyst highlights FCF and debt reduction

Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp. ran up 2.7% in premarket trade Wednesday, after the oil and gas company reported first-quarter earnings that beat expectations, with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Neal Dingmann upbeat about higher pricing and gas production. He reiterated his buy rating, which he's had on the stock since July 2015, and kept his price target at $6, which is more than double Tuesday's closing price of $2.98. Dingmann said what was notable is that Chesapeake produced free cash flow of nearly $90 million, "exclusively from operations," and the company's continued progress on debt reduction. The company had said its principal debt balance as of March 31 was $9.40 billion, down from $9.81 billion as of Dec. 31.

Chesapeake Energy's stock soars after profit rises above expectations

Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp. soared 3.7% in active premarket trade Wednesday, after the oil and gas exploration company beat profit expectations. Net income rose to $268 million, or 29 cents a share, from $75 million, or 8 cents a share, in the same period a year ago. Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted earnings per share came to 34 cents, above the FactSet consensus of 27 cents. Total revenue slipped to $2.49 billion from $2.75 billion, but was well above the FactSet consensus of $1.40 billion. Oil, natural gas and NGL revenue fell to $1.24 billion from $1.47 billion, to miss the FactSet consensus of $1.29 billion, and marketing revenue slipped to $1.25 billion from $1.28 billion but exceeded expectations of $1.20 billion. Average daily production increased to 554,000 barrels of oil equivalent from 528,000 boe. "The strength of our operations and improved cost structure, coupled with higher realized prices, resulted in our best quarterly financial performance in over three years," said Chief Executive Doug Lawler. The stock has tumbled 24.8% year to date through Tuesday, while the SPDR Energy Select Sector ETF has gained 1.5% and the S&P 500 has slipped 0.7%.

Energy ETF falls after Trump tweets that crude prices are "artificially high"

The largest exchange-traded fund to track the energy sector declined in early trading on Friday, after President Donald Trump tweeted that crude-oil prices were "artificially high." The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF fell 0.9%, with energy standing as the worst performer among the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors in early action. The decline was underpinned by a 0.9% drop in the price of crude oil. Crude turned lower after Trump tweeted that high crude prices "will not be accepted." That came as a meeting of ministers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries group and the non-OPEC countries were seeking to reaffirm a commitment to keep output limited. Among notable decliners in the sector, Chevron Corp. fell 1.5% while Exxon Mobil Corp. and Marathon Oil Corp. both lost 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% on Friday while the S&P 500 was off 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.5%.

Energy ETF jumps in best session since November 2016

The largest exchange-traded fund to track the energy sector soared on Tuesday, climbing in what was on track to be its biggest one-day gain in more than a year. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF spiked 3.5%, set for its best session since Nov. 30, 2016. The rally in the sector was broad, with every one of its components in solidly higher territory. Leading the move higher was Exxon Mobil Corp. , which climbed 3.5% in its best session since September 2016. Chevron Corp. was up 2.9%. The rally was supported by a 2.9% rise in the price of crude oil , as well as optimism over easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Despite the rise on the day, the ETF remains down 3.1% for 2018. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.7% on Tuesday while the S&P 500 was up 1.5% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 1.5%.

Energy ETF tumbles; has worst monthly drop since December 2015

The largest exchange-traded fund to track the energy sector fell sharply on Wednesday, sufferings its biggest one-day percentage drop since Feb. 8. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF lost 2.3% in a volatile session, having previously risen as much as 0.9% on the day. The move lower tracked a decline in crude-oil prices. U.S. crude-oil futures lost 2.3%. While selling accelerated going into the close of trading, the ETF turned negative after crude inventories showed a bigger-than-expected increase in supplies in the latest week. In the data, domestic crude supplies rose by 3 million barrels for the week ended Feb. 23. Analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts had forecast a climb of 2.1 million barrels. Rising supply, along with falling demand, is a primary driver behind weakness in oil prices. Among specific stocks, Marathon Oil Corp. was down 3.2% while Halliburton Co. was off 2.5%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.5% while the S&P 500 was off 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.8%. For the month of February, the energy ETF fell 10.8%, its biggest one-month percentage drop since December 2015.

Energy ETF rallies on crude-oil spike, Chesapeake results

The largest exchange-traded fund to track the energy sector rallied on Thursday, advancing alongside a gain in the price of crude oil, as well as positive corporate results. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF added 2.1% and was by far the biggest gainer among the 10 SPDR sector funds. The ETF was supported by crude-oil prices, which rose 1.4% following an unexpected decline in inventories, which pointed to improved demand. Among the biggest gainers in the sector was Chesapeake Energy Corp. , which surged 24% after it reported fourth-quarter results that beat expectations. Among other big movers, Exxon Mobil Corp. added 2.2% while Occidental Petroleum Corp. gained 2.1%. Despite the rally on the day, the energy ETF is down 4.7% over the past 12 months, making it the worst performer of the SPDR sector funds. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.2% on Thursday while the S&P 500 was up 1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 0.8%.

UPDATE: Chesapeake Energy shares jump 15% after earnings top estimates

Chesapeake Energy Corp. shares surged 15% in early trade Thursday, after the company topped earnings estimates for the fourth quarter. Chesapeake said it had net income of $309 million, or 33 cents a share, in the quarter, after a loss of $740 million, or 83 cents a share, in the year-earlier period. Adjusted per-share earnings came to 30 cents, ahead of the FactSet consensus of 24 cents. Revenue rose to $1.258 billion from $678 million, and were also ahead of the FactSet consensus of $1.251 billion. Chief Executive Doug Lawler said the company made significant progress in reducing debt in 2017, increasing cash flow and boosting margins. "We further demonstrated the depth of our portfolio by closing on approximately $1.3 billion in asset and property sales and signed additional asset sales for approximately $575 million that we expect to close by the end of the 2018 second quarter," he said. Shares are down 56% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 14%.
