SM Energy (SM) merger integration has exceeded expectations, with increased synergy targets and operational outperformance in Q1. Despite strong capital efficiency and a raised dividend, SM carries the highest leverage among top-10 US independents, impacting valuation and FCF sensitivity. SM trades at a deep earnings discount to peers, but high debt keeps its EV/EBITDA elevated; FCF yield stands at 8.2%.
Micron delivered explosive Q3 results, with revenue up 345.7% YoY and non-GAAP EPS up 1,215%, far exceeding guidance and consensus.

Operating leverage, robust free cash flow, and sector-leading margins position MU for continued strong performance, with valuation still attractive at 16.6x FY2026 EPS.
