Natural Gas Services Group (NGS) Downgraded to 'Outperform'

Formed in 2024 by the merger of Chesapeake Energy Corporation and Southwestern Energy Company, Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) operates as an independent natural gas production company in the United States.

Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) had a setback on January 16 when BofA lowered its price target on the stock from $143 to $125, but maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares. The lowered target comes as the firm reduced its price objectives for the gas-levered E&P group, driven by a rising risk of oversupply in 2027 and lower price forecasts.

Earlier on January 8, UBS analyst Josh Silverstein also cut the firm’s price target on Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) from $154 to $150, while keeping a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares.

Expand Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:EXE) has also been under pressure over the last month due to a decline in natural gas prices. Natural gas futures fell to a 3-month low of $3.1 per MMBtu on January 16 after storage data showed a much smaller withdrawal than projected, indicating looser supply-demand conditions.
