Baytex Energy’s stock dropped as investors reacted to the company’s latest strategic update, which included the sale of its Eagle Ford assets to pay down debt and overhaul its capital structure, as well as a three-year plan calling for only modest 3–5% annual production growth through 2026. Market participants appeared to reassess the shares, balancing the cleaner balance sheet and shareholder-return plans against the limited growth outlook and recent management changes, and the stock fell about 8.9% to $3.00.
