Sycamore Mid Cap Value Equity Gary H. Miller | “The company surpassed oil volume guidance while maintaining lower-than-expected capital expenditures, resulting in strong free cash flows and capital returns. Focus on ultra-long lateral wells is lowering drilling costs, while rising oil prices provide macro tailwinds.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Mar 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
Palm Valley Capital Management Jayme Wiggins | “Chord Energy is an exploration and production (E&P) company in the Williston Basin. As oil prices fell sharply in April, Chord's stock fell below our valuation of the firm's proven reserves. We're fond of Chord's strong balance sheet, free cash flow, and low-cost oil reserves. In 2024, the company generated $2.35 billion of EBITDA and $1 billion of free cash flow. Since the majority of Chord's $800 million in debt doesn't mature until 2033, we believe free cash flow will continue to be used to pay dividends and repurchase stock. Since 2021, Chord has paid $56 per share in dividends (over half the current share price!). With a market cap near $5 billion, we believe Chord is attractively priced relative to cash flow and our net asset valuation. BSD Analysis: Chord Energy is a focused, high-growth Williston Basin E&P pure-play whose stock is a leveraged bet on a disciplined capital return strategy and successful asset integration. The core thesis is the successful integration of the Enerplus acquisition, which led to a 35% increase in pro forma free cash flow per share. The company is aggressively focused on rewarding shareholders, returning 69% of free cash flow and maintaining a "defendable down to low levels of oil price" dividend. Its 2026 guidance remains strong, with oil production expected between 157,000–161,000 barrels per day. Chord is a high-quality, high-return bet on the efficiency and continued production of the Williston Basin.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
