On March 5, Piper Sandler raised its price recommendation on Crescent Energy Company (NYSE:CRGY) to $14 from $13. It reiterated an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm said the rotation trade received renewed attention this week as the prospect of war with Iran placed about 20% of global oil, product, and gas supply at risk. According to Piper, the conflict has largely overshadowed Q4 results and FY26 outlooks across the sector. Even so, the firm expects little change from U.S. operators in response to the situation.

During the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO David Rockecharlie discussed the completion of nearly $5 billion in transactions during 2025. He said the activity included more than $4 billion in acquisitions completed at less than 3x EBITDA. At the same time, the company sold nearly $1 billion of non-core assets at valuations above 5x EBITDA.

Rockecharlie said this reflects the company’s strategy of compounding value by recycling capital. The approach involves shifting funds out of non-core holdings and redeploying them into higher-return, scalable assets where its operational playbook can be used to generate value over time.

He also introduced what he described as a new catalyst for equity value. The focus was on the company’s minerals platform, Present Royalties. According to Rockecharlie, the minerals portfolio currently generates roughly $160 million in annual cash flow.

Crescent Energy Company (NYSE:CRGY) is an energy company. Its operations are focused on Texas and the Rockies, with active development in the Eagle Ford and Uinta basins. The company also operates conventional assets in Wyoming, where it is involved in carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS).
