ConocoPhillips price target lowered to $102 from $112 at JPMorgan

JPMorgan analyst Arun Jayaram lowered the firm’s price target on ConocoPhillips (COP) to $102 from $112 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm adjusted ratings and targets in the exploration and production space as part of its 2026 outlook. JPMorgan sees supply side risks for oil and liquids, but says the “long-awaited demand inflection for natural gas has finally arrived.” The magnitude of the crude oil oversupply, plus a potential end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2026, is a “double whammy” for lower oil prices, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
