Summary
At $75/bbl oil with a 11x EV/FCF multiple, intrinsic value is $1.45 per share. Range: $0.00 (bear) to $15.98 (bull).
Warnings
Debt per share ($20.76) is significant relative to the stock price. Even small changes in the debt figure meaningfully shift what each share is worth.
If oil drops to $60/barrel, the stock could fall -100%. Check whether the company can survive at low prices and still pay its dividend.
Where you think oil prices will settle long-term drives over 80% of this valuation. The biggest risk isn't the company itself — it's getting the commodity price wrong.
Wall Street's average price target is $46.29 (from 43 analysts). Our estimate is 97% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
Key Risks
- Growth DCF inappropriate — commodity volumes do not compound
- Geopolitical premiums are real but historically temporary
- Reserve replacement ratio below 100% for 3 years is existential
