This adjustment is part of the firm’s revised ratings and targets in the exploration and production group, designed to better reflect the 2026 outlook.

The analyst notes that although overall market sentiment for U.S. oil and gas names is weak due to oil oversupply and high gas storage, there is still “underappreciated value” in the group, particularly in exploration and production, driven by longer-term fundamentals that could start contributing meaningfully in 2026. Mizuho recommends reallocating risk toward oil E&Ps, with a selective bias in gas names, while maintaining neutrality in refining.
