Morgan Stanley refreshed its estimates for the latest energy prices.
Last month, Barclays raised its price target on EOG Resources to $153 from $140 and kept an Equal Weight rating. Barclays said depleting inventories, shrinking OPEC spare capacity, and a “muted” U.S. production response to the Middle East war are reinforcing a tighter oil macro backdrop that is not fully reflected in equities. The firm said this sets up “oily” exploration and production companies for a share re-rating after the conflict. Barclays also cut its gas price outlook on near-term oversupply and adjusted ratings and price targets across integrated oil and exploration and production names.
Also in May, Mizuho raised its price target on EOG Resources to $157 from $149 and kept a Neutral rating. Mizuho expects the impact of the Iran crisis on global oil prices and refining cracks to be prolonged. The firm increased its 2026 and 2027 oil price outlook by 25% and 6%, respectively, while raising its forecast for U.S. refining cracks by 61% and 51%. Mizuho said a pullback in stock valuations despite elevated commodity prices creates an opportunity to seek “alpha” in U.S. oil and gas.

On June 30, 2026, Wells Fargo raised its price target on Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE:DAL) to $105 from $75 and kept an Overweight rating. Wells Fargo raised its estimates and price targets as fuel falls and demand holds.

Wells Fargo remains most constructive on premium carriers United Airlines (UAL) and Delta Air Lines.
On June 26, Citi raised its price target on Delta Air Lines to $106 from $79 and kept a Buy rating as part of a Q2 earnings preview for the airline group.

On June 25, Barclays analyst Brandon Oglenski raised the firm’s price target on Delta Air Lines to $105 from $85 and kept an Overweight rating. Oglenski said airlines will likely guide Q3 unit revenues higher, supporting a stronger margin outlook in 2027, especially if energy prices continue trending lower.
