Warnings

⚠ If oil drops to $60/barrel, the stock could fall -73%. Check whether the company can survive at low prices and still pay its dividend.
ℹ 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.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $426.30 (from 33 analysts). Our estimate is 63% 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
