Chord Energy's Strategic Acquisition and Strong Capital Returns Justify Buy RatingWe rea ffirm our Buy ra ng on valua on, underpinned by its strong, stable FCF yield providing the capacity for superior capital returns while maintaining low financial leverage. We maintain our price target at $140. on details. As shown in Figure 2, CHRD is acquiring ~48,000 net acres (86% WI, 82% 8/8th NRI and 100% Basin overlapping its exis ng footprint on on (FBIR) and Li le Knife. The deal adds 90 net loca ons (72 net operated) with 10,000 equivalent laterals. Although, this con guous acreage posi on is expected to allow for 3- and 4-mile lateral development. Specifically, with synergies with its exis ng acreage, CHRD expects ~20% of the acquired loca ons to be conducive to 2- mile laterals, ~20% to 3-mile laterals, ~60% to 4-mile laterals.

Chord Energy's Strategic Acquisition of Williston Assets from ExxonMobil: Enhancing Operational Scale and Long-term Financial StrengthCHRD This afternoon, CHRD announced the $550mm acquisition of Williston assets from XOM. We see the opportunistic purchase as strategic, given the ability to further scale CHRD's move to 3- and 4-mile laterals, which is key to the forward outlook. We also see it as ~5% accretive to FY26 CFPS at our $61/bbl WTI deck, while keeping leverage near 0.5x. However, it does come at a price given the core nature of the assets, and will reduce near-term shareholder returns to 50% of FCF from 75+% of FCF, until leverage declines <0.5x. We reiterate our Buy rating and move our PT to $130 from $122. Acquisitions: Transaction Details . CHRD will acquire ~48k net acres with ~9mboepd of flowing volumes (78% oil) from XOM for $550mm. CHRD will fund the acquisition with cash and debt, views it as accretive on CF and YE25 deal close expected. We estimate the transaction's 5% accretive on FY26 CFPS.

Chord Energy's Strategic Acquisition and Share Buyback Drive Buy RatingWe view this deal favorably as it partially removes some uncertainty on their strategic next steps while being accretive across the board. We calculated the value per location of ~$2.1mm and anticipate further efficiency gains as this package competes for capital immediately post-close. They are maintaining their capital return framework and have thus far repurchased ~788k shares in 3Q for ~$83mm (~$105/share). We don’t expect a material shift from their established 3-year plan but do see production at the high-end both given this transaction and given our expectation of incremental efficiency gains. We maintain our Buy rating with a target price of $125/share and expect a modestly positive reaction from the markets.
