Analyst Hanwen Chang from Wells Fargo maintained a Buy rating on Crescent Energy Company Class A (CRGY – Research Report) and keeping the price target at $20.00.
Hanwen Chang has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Crescent Energy Company Class A’s strong position in the market.
