On January 28, Piper Sandler analyst Mark Lear slightly nudged up the firm’s price target on Occidental Petroleum Corporation from $46 to $47, while maintaining a ‘Neutral’ rating on the shares. The revised target indicates an upside of almost 5% from the current share price. The analyst estimates strong prints from gas operators in the Q4 2025 earnings season, while weak oil and NGL prices were a headwind for oil companies during the quarter. As we head into 2026, Piper expects a number of gas producers to push for growth in response to the increasing demand for LNG.
