Howard Marks hunts dislocation. His latest Oaktree 13F reveals five common-stock equity positions that look nothing like a bull-market portfolio: a leveraged turbo maker, the largest US gas producer bleeding YTD, a gold miner that just gave back a fifth of its price in three months, a tanker riding a geopolitical spike, and a specialty pharma with negative book value.
Investors need to pay close attention to EXE stock based on the movements in the options market lately.
Expand Energy is rated a Strong Buy, with a $132 price target vs. sub-$90 current levels, driven by resilient free cash flow at low gas prices. EXE's dual-basin Marcellus-Haynesville footprint enables flexibility: Low-cost Marcellus supports cash flow in weak markets, while Haynesville offers upside as prices rise. Despite bearish speculative sentiment and near-term headwinds, intermediate-term catalysts include LNG export growth, industrial demand, and power sector expansion.

The Zacks Style Scores offers investors a way to easily find top-rated stocks based on their investing style. Here's why you should take advantage.

NYMEX gas strip is a bit over $3 during the rest of the year, but Expand is still projected to generate $1.47 billion FCF during that period. The strong Q1 free cash flow allowed Expand to redeem nearly $1.3 billion in debt and reduce its annual interest costs by over $80 million.
Expand Energy (EXE) came out with quarterly earnings of $3.83 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.69 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.02 per share a year ago.
EXE eyes sharp Q1 growth with rising gas prices and output, but mounting costs may test margins ahead of its April 28 earnings release.
