Shares of energy companies are trading lower possibly amid ongoing weakness after crude levels dropped to 2021 levels following OPEC+'s decision to accelerate production hikes. Also, the industry may be declining due to global tensions related to US-China retaliatory tariffs.

J.P. Morgan analyst Zach Parham reiterated a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neutral rating</a> on Wednesday on the shares of SM Energy Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SM#NYSE">SM</a>) with a price forecast of $41.00.
Following its January 1 operational takeover, SM continues to integrate its recently acquired Uinta assets. The company has reported no significant impact from prior rail delays or refinery downtime that affected Uinta&#8217;s fourth-quarter performance.
For the first-quarter, oil volumes are expected to slightly exceed the midpoint of SM&#8217;s guidance, with estimates at 103.0 MBo/d, closely aligning with consensus expectations of 103.1 MBo/d, said the analyst.
SM anticipates delivering 45 net Turn-In-Lines (TILs) in first-quarter, which represents 30% of its full-year target of 150 net TILs.
These TILs are weighted toward the later part of the quarter, indicating a greater impact on second-quarter production.

As a result, second-quarter oil volumes are projected to rise by 6% quarter-over-quarter to 106.9 MBo/d, aligning with the company&#8217;s full-year 2025 production goal of approximately 107 MBo/d.
With updated commodity prices factored in, SM&#8217;s first-quarter cash flow per share (CFPS) is estimated at $4.37, slightly ahead of the consensus estimate of $4.28.
EBITDA is also projected at $570 million, surpassing the consensus of $559 million. Capital expenditures for the quarter are expected to total $430 million, falling within the company&#8217;s guidance, while free cash flow (FCF) is estimated at $72 million.
Although SM&#8217;s stock buyback program remains in place, no repurchases are expected for first-quarter, with activity likely resuming in the second half of 2025 once leverage approaches 1x.
For the full year, the company projects 107.7 MBo/d of oil production, supported by $1.31 billion in capital spending, resulting in $740 million of free cash flow and a 22% FCF yield, noted the analyst.
In October 2024, SM completed its $2.0 billion all-cash acquisition of XCL Resources, expanding into the Uinta Basin and establishing a third core operational area.
Due to the cash-financed deal, the company is prioritizing debt reduction over share buybacks, aiming to bring leverage below 1x by mid-2025. As a result, SM&#8217;s cash return yield currently lags behind the peer median, the analyst opined.
Price Action: SM shares traded higher by 2.55% at $30.53 at last check Wednesday.
