David Deckelbaum has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Gulfport Energy’s strategic positioning and financial performance. The company’s decision to pull forward capital expenditures into 2025 to boost production in the first quarter of 2026 demonstrates proactive management and a commitment to optimizing operational efficiency. This move is further supported by an increase in buyback commitments, reflecting confidence in the company’s strong return on capital potential as gas prices rise.
Additionally, Gulfport Energy’s operational updates, including the expansion of undeveloped Marcellus inventory and successful developments in the Utica, indicate a robust growth trajectory. The company’s balance sheet remains strong, with a manageable net debt level and a favorable leverage ratio. These strategic initiatives, combined with a substantial share repurchase program, underpin Deckelbaum’s positive outlook and Buy rating for Gulfport Energy.
