14 Best Energy Stocks to Buy According to Wall Street Analysts

10. BKV Corporation (NYSE:BKV) 

Upside Potential as of March 22: 21.32%

BKV Corporation (NYSE:BKV)’s core business is to produce natural gas from its owned and operated upstream businesses, which are supported by the company’s four business lines: natural gas production; natural gas gathering, processing, and transportation; power generation; and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration.

On March 17, Mizuho bumped its price target on BKV Corporation (NYSE:BKV) from $36 to $39, while keeping an ‘Outperform’ rating on the shares. The revised target indicates an upside of over 34% from the current levels.

The move comes after Mizuho raised its 2026 oil price outlook by 14% to $73.25 amid the US-Iran war, which has created significant supply disruptions in the Middle East and choked around a fifth of the global oil and LNG supply. The conflict has resulted in serious damage to the energy infrastructure in the Gulf, raising concerns of even higher energy prices in the near future. While it is still too early to say whether the war will raise the structural price of global oil, Mizuho believes that the bias is likely higher.

The analyst firm remains positive on the overall oil and gas sector. However, while it highlighted that the natural gas fundamentals remain constructive, Mizuho lowered its fiscal 2026 price outlook for the commodity by 6%.
