When navigating a changing business cycle, such as today&#39;s triggered by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cutting interest rates, investors should focus on fundamentals and keeping a risk-to-reward profile that favors their portfolios in the coming quarters. For this reason, stocks that trade near their 52-week lows are a great place to start looking for potential value and recovery plays.
There are those who believe that stocks will trade down for a reason, and while they may be right, that isn&#39;t always the case; otherwise, value investors like Warren Buffett would have been out of business a long time ago. Fitting the list of 52-week low stocks are names like FedEx Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdx#NYSE">FDX</a>) after a recent earnings sell-off to represent the transportation sector, coupled with another transport stock being beaten down for a while now, and Boeing Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ba#NYSE">BA</a>).
To diversify away from the transportation sector, which is highly tied to the business cycle, investors can look to the energy sector, this time at a Buffett favorite. Shares of Occidental Petroleum Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxy#NYSE">OXY</a>) are down despite the news of Buffett buying out, and that creates enough of a sentiment divergence for investors to start digging into the possibility of a pending recovery.
<h2>Why FedEx Stock Has No Reason to Stay at Its Lows Today</h2>
After the company reported a slower-than-expected quarter, FedEx stock crashed lower by as much as 17% from its previous highs. However, many market participants felt comfortable with buying the dip, as judged by the quick recovery, which brought the stock higher by 7.5% within the week.
Investors should look deeper into FedEx stock because management has realized what needs to be done to navigate the new business cycle, which is bringing lower business shipping demand as activity slows down. One gauge investors can use for FedEx&#39;s potential activity is the manufacturing PMI index.
As the Fed just cut interest rates, the potential for the index to bottom and start to expand again is higher than the potential for it to remain at current lows. Knowing that the risk-to-reward scale is starting to tilt in favor of buyers, Wall Street analysts have remained bullish on FedEx&#39;s future.
Those at Stephens think that FedEx stock is worth up to $350 a share, calling for a net upside of 27.2% from where the stock trades today. Even bearish traders decided to stay away from FedEx stock despite the recent sell-off, as short interest declined by 8.5% over the past month alone to signal bearish capitulation.
<h2>Buyers Are Slowly Returning to Boeing Stock at Its Lows: Is a Rebound Coming?</h2>
The average volume for Boeing stock is 8 million shares, but over the past week, this metric has risen to 18 million shares. Just like any product that attracts more activity as lower prices are taken as a discount, investors can interpret this as market sentiment voting for Boeing being on the cheaper end.
As interest rate cuts make their way through the global economy, investors can safely assume that travel demand may be on the rise, and that&#39;s where Boeing stock comes into play. The company recently sent out a press release quoting the upcoming Chinese demand for the next decade, looking to grow at high single-digits.
China also cut interest rates by 50 basis points, creating more tailwinds for future aircraft demand and leaving Boeing with up to $515.8 billion worth of backlog orders on the back of these growing trends. Realizing that these orders will eventually turn into revenue and earnings, Wall Street analysts are reflecting this trend in earnings per share (EPS) forecasts.
Analysts think Boeing could deliver up to $1.16 in EPS next year, significantly better than today&#39;s net loss of $2.9 per share. These tailwinds and forecasts drove price targets higher, as those at Jefferies Financial now value Boeing stock at $240 a share, or nearly 60% higher than today&#39;s prices.
<h2>Could Buffett Buy More Occidental Petroleum to Shake Off the Bears?</h2>
Now that Occidental Petroleum stock trades at only 72% of its 52-week high, investors might expect Warren Buffett to add to his now-losing position. As the tension grows around this possibility, the stock&#39;s short interest has declined by 2.7% in the past month and has been on a downtrend during the past quarter.
The main reason the stock is compressed today is the current oil price, which has struggled to remain above $70 consistently, significantly capping the company&#39;s earning potential. However, this shift in sentiment is starting to spill over to Wall Street, as more analysts see double-digit upside for Occidental stock in the coming months.
Those at Mizuho and Susquehanna see a respective $72 and $78 price target on Occidental Petroleum stock, which calls for as much upside as 53.5% now that the stock trades near its 52-week low. Again, as interest rate cuts work their way through the economy, business demand could trigger a new oil cycle higher.
Other oil stocks higher in the value chain, like Chesapeake Energy Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chk#NASDAQ">CHK</a>), have taken off by over 20% recently on these expectations, so it is a matter of time before Occidental follows with a similar double-digit rally.

Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHK#NASDAQ">CHK</a>) climbed in early trading on Friday, as oil prices moved slightly higher after the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report showed lower inflation in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41068393/inflation-decline-strengthens-confidence-in-feds-interest-rate-cut-if-you-were-second-guessing-the-f">August than expected.</a>
Gas prices are likely to rise over the next few years, and the company will be the largest natural gas producer following the merger with Southwestern Energy Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWN#NYSE">SWN</a>), according to Roth Capital Partners.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e282d28430dee0001c78b80/leo-mariani">Analyst Leo Mariani</a> initiated coverage of Chesapeake Energy with a Buy rating and price target of $92.
The Chesapeake Energy Thesis: The company&#8217;s merger with Southwestern Energy is expected to close early in the fourth quarter this year, Mariani said in the initiation note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
"CHK has one of the lower cost structures amongst gas-focused E&amp;P companies with pro forma 2025 operating costs of ~$1.26 per Mcfe, which is ~20% below the average of the gas-focused E&amp;Ps in our coverage universe," the analyst wrote.
While the combined company may receive "similar gas pricing as its peers," it is likely to increase "later this decade as existing and future LNG deals kick in, providing upside exposure to international gas prices and ensuring stronger domestic differentials," he added.
CHK Price Action: Shares of Chesapeake Energy were up 3.3% to $82.98 at the time of publication Friday.

Chesapeake Energy Set To Become Largest Natural Gas Producer In US, Says Analyst

Roth MKM analyst Leo Mariani initiates coverage on Chesapeake Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHK#NASDAQ">CHK</a>) with a Buy rating and announces Price Target of $92.

Roth MKM Initiates Coverage On Chesapeake Energy with Buy Rating, Announces Price Target of $92

The stock market is about to make a major shift, this time driven by the shift in monetary policy set on by the Federal Reserve (the Fed). After the most recent meeting to decide the new path of interest rates for the United States, Jerome Powell (the Fed chairman) cut interest rates by the most aggressive pace in 16 years.
That means a few things for the stock market, but investors must understand that not all industries will be affected equally. The ones that deserve a second &ndash; or deeper &ndash; look are those that depend on consumer and financial trends, sectors like consumer discretionary and real estate. There&#39;s even a historical tendency for oil prices to do well on lower interest rates. Hence, the energy sector deserves a spot on this list as well.
Within these spaces, names like Nike Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nke#NYSE">NKE</a>), Chesapeake Energy Co. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chk#NASDAQ">CHK</a>), and even SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sofi#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) carry enough reasons to potentially become relative winners in the coming quarters, especially as money and investors begin to shift their preferences to match this new business cycle.
<h2>Consumer Stocks Like Nike Poised for a Comeback with Rate Cuts on the Horizon</h2>
Nike shares have been volatile recently, particularly after the company reported a less-than-spectacular quarter. Leaning on China slowdowns and weakening U.S. consumer sentiment, bears raided Nike stock after the results came out.
However, some on Wall Street saw far ahead enough to pick up this stock at its lows, such as billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. More than that, analysts at Sanford C. Bernstein see the stock as worth up to $109 a share, calling for up to 32.4% upside from where it trades today.
Reacting to the recent Wall Street bullishness and institutional buying, bears retreated from further selling this stock, as Nike stock&#39;s short interest declined by 14.5% in the past month alone. The stock still trades at only 67% of its 52-week high, leaving enough room for investors to catch a further recovery rally.
<h2>Energy Stocks Are Strong, But Chesapeake Stock Stands Out as the Better Pick</h2>
Over the past month, shares of Chesapeake have gone on a bit of a tear, rallying by as much as 7.5% as front-run expectations for Fed interest rate cuts started to influence the energy sector positively. One big investor who saw this trend coming is Warren Buffett.
Based on this belief, Buffett bought up to 29% of Occidental Petroleum Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxy#NYSE">OXY</a>), but retail investors have an advantage over mega investors like Buffett. They can choose smaller companies, especially those placed higher in the industry&#39;s value chain and paid first.
Chesapeake Energy stock is one example, and Wall Street knows this. Those at Stephens see a potential bull case in which this stock reaches a valuation of $118 a share, daring it to rally by as much as 53.6% from where it trades today. Considering Chesapeake is still only 83% of its 52-week high, investors have a new reason to call for new highs.
That reason is interest rate cuts, which typically help boost business activity and demand, which rely on oil for manufacturing and transport. As oil prices recover based on these trends, Chesapeake stock might be at the center of the bullish price action, given its place in the value chain for exploration and production.
<h2>Lower Mortgage Rates Could Propel SoFi Stock to New Heights</h2>
Many would-be home buyers are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for more affordable financing rates through more accessible mortgages. Investors should remember that when interest rates come down, so do mortgage rates, enabling new home buyers to enter the market.
This is where SoFi stock comes into play and why Wall Street holds it in such high regard. Now that the stock is down to 80% of its 52-week high, there are a few more tailwinds in place to let investors assume this name could make its way back and even make a new high.
Wall Street analysts forecast up to $0.07 in earnings per share (EPS) in SoFi stock for the next 12 months, up from today&#39;s EPS of $0.01. This is a seven-fold jump in profits, meaning some of the current price targets and valuations might have to be adjusted upward in face of this potential spike.
Those at Dimensional Fund Advisors saw enough reason to boost their holdings in SoFi stock by up to 263.3% as of August 2024, bringing their net investment to $86.5 million today, or 1.2% ownership in the company.
<h2>Wall Street&#39;s Latest Top Pick Comes from a Different Market</h2>
Stanley Druckenmiller (responsible for George Soros&#39; returns) decided to sell out of the U.S. technology sector and sought to relocate his winnings into the bond market. Remember how mortgage rates come down during Fed cuts? So do bond yields.
Just like any other fixed-income product, prices are inversely related to yield, so as bond yields come down, their prices will go up. Investors can copy Druckenmiller&#39;s playbook and check out the iShares 20+ Year Bond ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tlt#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) for potential exposure.
The ETF has recently declined by roughly 3% from its highs. However, momentum is still bullish enough to suggest further upside from this level, especially as the Fed might keep cutting rates for the next 12 months, bringing the price of bonds higher and higher.

Top 3 Energy Stocks That May Rocket Higher This Quarter

U.S. natural gas prices, tracked by the United States Natural Gas Fund LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNG#NYSE">UNG</a>), are on pace to extend their winning streak to four sessions on Friday as the combination of lower-than-expected inventory builds and increased demand due to persistent heat reversed the bearish trend that dominated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/natural-gas">the market since June.</a>
The Henry Hub front-month futures rose 1.3% to $2.15 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), setting the stage for the highest close since July 23.
Jodi Shafto, editor and senior natural gas reporter at NatGas Intel, <a href="https://www.naturalgasintel.com/news/natural-gas-forward-prices-find-support-as-hot-weather-returns-supply-tightens/">observed that natural gas prices</a> found room to rise during the Aug. 1-8 trading period. &#8220;Against a backdrop of solid demand, possible production cuts, and potentially modest August storage injections, natural gas forward prices moved higher,&#8221; Shafto wrote.
On Thursday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a 21 billion cubic feet (Bcf) injection into natural gas storage for the week ending Aug. 2. This figure came in slightly below market expectations and well under the five-year average build of 38 Bcf. The modest build pushed total inventories to 3,270 Bcf, which is 248 Bcf above the year-earlier level and 424 Bcf over the five-year average.
Despite the rise in storage, the report revealed gas storage levels were 14.9% above the five-year average — a decrease from 39% above in March and 19% in June.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Focus Shifts To Supply</h1>
NatGas Intel highlighted the market&#8217;s positive reaction to the lighter-than-average build emphasizing that supply remains a critical focus for traders and they expect weak production going forward further stimulating prices.
In response to the nearly 40% drop in natural gas prices over the past two months, major U.S. producers are planning to reduce output further in the latter half of 2024. 
EQT Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQT#NASDAQ">EQT</a>), the largest natural gas producer in the Lower 48 states, along with Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHK#NASDAQ">CHK</a>), announced they would wait for prices to improve before ramping up production activity.
However, Eli Rubin, a senior analyst at EBW Analytics Group, commented, &#8220;Shutting-in production due to low prices is more &#8216;less bearish&#8217; than &#8216;overtly bullish,&#8217; as the market attempts to manage oversupply.&#8221; While production cuts could help balance the market, they may not necessarily lead to a significant price rally.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Weather Forecasts Provide Support</h1>
Despite recent trends toward milder weather, the weather outlook for natural gas prices remains favorable, according to NatGasWeather.
&#8220;Near-term forecasts indicate cooler temperatures for the next seven days in the Midwest and Eastern U.S., with widespread rain expected from the remnants of former Hurricane Debby. While these regions are predicted to experience highs in the 70s to lower 80s, hotter conditions are expected to persist in the western and southern parts of the country, with temperatures ranging from the 80s to 100s,&#8221; the company wrote.
NatGasWeather also noted sweltering heat is not yet exhausted for much of the country for the long term. Although fewer cooling-degree days are expected, the overall weather patterns for the eight- to 15-day period remain bullish, potentially continuing to support natural gas prices.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Energy Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dvn#NYSE">DVN</a>) is expected to report an improvement in its top and bottom lines when it reports second-quarter 2024 results on Aug 6, after the market close.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DVN&#39;s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.86 billion, indicating an 11.9% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.29 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DVN&#39;s second-quarter earnings has remained unchanged in the past 60 days. The estimate suggests year-over-year growth of 9.3%.

<h3>Solid Earnings Surprise History</h3>
Devon&#39;s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 3.38%.

<h3>What the Zacks Model Unveils</h3>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Devon Energy this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. That is not the case here, as you can see below.

Earnings ESP: Devon has an Earnings ESP of -0.28%.
Zacks Rank: Devon Energy currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
</div>
<h3>Factors Likely to Have Shaped DVN&#39;s Q2 Earnings</h3>
Devon Energy continues to benefit from its multi-basin portfolio and high-margin assets. Increased productivity from the wells placed online during the first half of 2024 is likely to have been a primary contributor to strong production volumes. Expected production volumes in the range of 670,000 to 690,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day are likely to have been driven by higher completion activity in the Delaware Basin, resulting from the fourth frac crew Devon put to work at the beginning of the year in the core of Southeast New Mexico.
Second-quarter earnings are expected to have benefited from effective cost management, which is likely to keep operating expenses within the guidance level and boost margins.
The easing of infrastructure constraints across Devon&#39;s Delaware Basin assets, through the steps taken by the company and third-party partners in the build-out of incremental gas processing, compression, water handling and electrification, is likely to have contributed to second-quarter performance.
Stable free cash flow generation is expected to have continued in the second quarter as well, which assisted in increasing shareholders&#39; value. The ongoing share repurchases have lowered the shares outstanding level of the company, which is likely to have had a positive impact on second-quarter earnings.
<h3>Price Performance and Valuation</h3>
DVN&#39;s shares have gained 14.2% in the past six months compared with the industry&#39;s rally of 15.1%.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/ed/73116.jpg?v=366708371" style="height:285px; width:620px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Devon Energy shares are somewhat inexpensive on a relative basis, with its current trailing 12-month Enterprise Value/Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA TTM) being 4.81 compared with its industry average of 7.79.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/e0/73118.jpg?v=158028223" style="height:283px; width:620px" />

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Some of the other operators in the same space, like APA Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/apa#NASDAQ">APA</a>), Chesapeake Energy (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chk#NASDAQ">CHK</a>) and EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eog#NYSE">EOG</a>), are trading at a higher value compared with Devon. The shares of APA, CHK and EOG are trading at current trailing 12-months EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.15, 5.08 and 5.67, respectively.
<h3>Investment Thesis</h3>
The highly productive multi-basin domestic assets of Devon Energy are the primary contributor to its strong performance. Devon&#39;s acquisition of RimRock Oil and Gas LP and the decision to acquire the Williston Basin business of Grayson Mill Energy will enable the company to maintain high-margin production and strong free cash flow for years to come. Devon Energy has significant financial flexibility and has been reducing its debt, which is lowering its annual interest expenses.
The company&#39;s current ratio currently stands at 1.04, indicating its financial strength to meet near-term debt obligations.
Still-high interest rates are a concern. A highly competitive oil and gas industry might limit Devon&#39;s capacity to apply for new drilling rights or acquire properties due to competitors who are financially stronger than Devon with more resources at their disposal.
<h3>To Sum Up</h3>
Devon&#39;s high-quality domestic assets with a balanced exposure to oil, natural gas and NGL production and its low-cost production structure boost margins. The company is presently trading at a discount.
Those who already own this stock would do well to retain it in their portfolio.

Devon's Pre-Q2 Earnings Analysis: Should You Buy or Hold?

Chesapeake Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHK#NYSE">CHK</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.87% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.39 million shares sold short, which is 14.8% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 13.85 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Chesapeake Energy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Chesapeake Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Chesapeake Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.84%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
