Matador price target raised to $54 from $47 at Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo raised the firm’s price target on Matador (MTDR) to $54 from $47 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm notes the company’s execution remains solid, but says a softer early-2026 ramp and front-loaded capex keep focus on capital efficiency. With heavy hedging muting oil beta, the stock’s upside hinges on disciplined delivery and progress toward midstream monetization, Wells adds.
