Coterra: 30%+ Upside Possible As Shares Hit Key Support
I have a buy rating on Coterra Energy (CTRA) due to its attractive valuation, trading at just seven times earnings with high free cash flow. Despite mixed quarterly results and strategic shifts, Coterra's impressive free cash flow generation and cost-saving measures make it a compelling investment. Key risks include weaker energy demand and potential internal negativity, but strong technical support around $22 suggests a decent chance of a bounce.
