BofA Initiates Coverage of Matador (MTDR) With a Buy Rating, Sets $56 Price Target
On Monday, BofA analyst Noah Hungness initiated coverage of Matador Resources Company (NYSE:MTDR) with a Buy rating and a price target of $56. BofA highlighted Matador's diverse growth avenues that distinguish it from competitors, such as the development of low breakeven exploration and production assets, share repurchases, expansion of its midstream footprint, and pursuit of inorganic growth opportunities.

Matador Resources Company (NYSE:MTDR) anticipates ~30% production growth for FQ1 2025 year-over-year, with similar growth expected for FQ2 and FQ3. This partly comes from the successful integration of high-quality Ameredev properties. Matador estimates cost savings of $30 million to $50 million through batch drilling and has expressed confidence in its ability to raise its dividend due to asset growth.
Matador Resources Company (NYSE:MTDR) is an independent energy company that acquires, explores, develops, and produces oil & natural gas resources in the US. It operates through two segments: Exploration & Production and Midstream.

Petrobras downgraded at BofA amid downward pressure on oil prices
As previously reported, BofA analyst Caio Ribeiro downgraded Petrobras (PBR) to Neutral from Buy with a price target of R$34, down from R$42, to reflect a more challenging macro outlook and rising regulatory risks. Despite the prevailing low-price environment, OPEC+ appears committed to regaining lost market share by persistently increasing oil production, while macro uncertainties are expected to continue weighing on global economic growth, putting downward pressure on oil prices, the analyst tells investors. In addition, the Brazilian government is contemplating an 'oil package' initiative in order to boost public coffers and Petrobras could be negatively impacted if such measures are implemented, the analyst added.

Why The Mosaic Company (MOS) Crashed On Friday
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) stands against other Friday's worst-performing stocks. Shares of The Mosaic Company decreased by 4.40 percent on Friday to end at $34.80 apiece, a third straight day, as investors reacted negatively to lower production guidance for the second quarter and full year 2025. In a statement, The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) said it now sees phosphate sales volumes for the second quarter of 2025 to be in the range of 1.5 million to 1.6 million tons, or lower than the 1.7 million to 1.9 million tons as targeted previously. A farmer tending to his crops in a field, with a fertiliser bag nearby. It also revised its production guidance for the full year period to 7 million to 7.3 million tons, lower than the 7.2 million to 7.6 million tons as expected previously. While its phosphate facility in New Wales was expected to increase over 20 percent in the current quarter, commissioning and ramp-up of the first of three new gypsum handling systems took longer than expected. The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) said it now expects the second and third systems to be installed and commissioned by the end of June and early July. Additionally, it extended planned downtimes for its Riverview facility to eliminate bottlenecks, causing production to miss initial expectations. Its Louisiana facilities also discovered additional necessary repairs, resulting in extended outage periods and some lost production. Overall, MOS ranks 8th on our list of Friday's worst-performing stocks. While we acknowledge the potential of MOS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
