We believe the company has made great strides in lowering its debt burden through the years (which had been our biggest concern), and its most recent commitment to reach a net debt level of $3 billion in the next few years is one that we fully recommend. In this relatively high-interest-rate environment, we prefer investing in those E&P companies with low leverage and accelerating profit growth. At the same time, we believe the company’s negative production growth in 2026 is disappointing, and we would like to see improving production results before considering an upgrade.
