AI Analysis

AI-generated, general educational analysis — not personal investment advice.

I approach Chord Energy as a cyclical commodity producer, not a franchise. It operates in the Williston Basin, and its 676 employees sell crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. In fiscal Q2 2026, the quarter ended 2026-06-30, Chord reported revenue of $2.2B, net income of $525.2M, and diluted EPS of $9.28. That is a sharp swing from fiscal Q2 2025, the quarter ended 2025-06-30, when revenue was $1.2B and net loss was $389.9M, or diluted EPS of -$6.77. Fiscal year 2025, ended 2025-12-31, showed revenue of $4.9B but net income of only $44.5M and diluted EPS of $0.74; fiscal year 2024, ended 2024-12-31, had net income of $848.6M and diluted EPS of $16.02. So earnings are volatile and cyclical, matching the FairStock Lynch category of CYCLICAL — Oil & Gas E&P. Financial health is mixed: debt-to-equity is low at 0.18 and Piotroski F-Score is 9/9, but Altman Z-Score is 1.49. FairStock calculations show ROE 10.31% and ROCE 5.37%, modest for a capital-intensive producer. At the close on 2026-10-13, price was $146.51; FairStock calculations show P/E 9.90, P/B 0.97, EV/EBITDA 3.34, FCF yield 14.8%, and Graham Number $224.54, implying a 34.75% margin of safety. The FairStock Score is only 30/100. I see no wide moat; value depends on reserves, costs, and commodity prices. The price looks statistically cheap, but cyclicality demands caution.

In plain English: Chord Energy is a U.S. oil and gas producer that operates in the Williston Basin, selling crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. The business is profitable in the latest quarter and carries low debt, but profits swing sharply with energy prices and it had a large loss in a recent quarter. At the recent price, the stock looks cheap against the company’s earnings, cash flow, and book value, though a FairStock scoring model gives it a low overall score.
