Analysts Offer Insights on Energy Companies: Baker Hughes Company (NASDAQ: BKR) and Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR)We expect the roll to 2025-2027 to result in slightly higher capex (~$1.2 billion) with offshore volumes closer to ~80 MBoed and a lesser decline in total production as Vietnam benefits 4Q26/2027 production. The incremental focus here likely centers on the Vietnam discovery, and how to think about cash return cadence as they continue on the path of deleveraging. We suspect much of the negatives here are somewhat expected, but its never baked in until its fully baked in seems an apt axiom. We are transferring lead coverage of MUR to Chris Baker, and reiterating our In Line rating and $46/share PT.
