Furthermore, its EPS is expected to grow 18.1% year-over-year to $2.94 in fiscal 2026. CTRA has declined 13.8% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming both the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 14.5% uptick and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLE) 7.9% drop over the same time frame. On May 5, Coterra Energy released mixed Q1 results, and its shares plunged 9.3% in the following trading session. The company's revenue grew 32.9% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, but missed the consensus estimates by 2.1%. Additionally, CTRA lowered its fiscal 2025 capital budget range to $2 billion to $2.3 billion, driven by less oil-directed activity, which might have further dampened investor confidence. However, on the brighter side, its adjusted EPS of $0.80 improved 56.9% from the prior-year quarter, topping Wall Street estimates by 2.6%. Wall Street analysts are highly optimistic about CTRA's stock, with an overall "Strong Buy" rating. Among 23 analysts covering the stock, 16 recommend "Strong Buy," two indicate "Moderate Buy,' and five suggest "Hold.' The mean price target for CTRA is $33.39, implying a 44.6% potential upside from the current levels.

Lockheed Martin stock tumble as program losses hit earnings
-- Lockheed Martin Corporation shares fell by more than 8% premarket on Tuesday after the defense contractor reported second-quarter earnings that significantly missed analyst expectations, weighed down by $1.6 billion in program losses. The aerospace giant posted earnings of $1.46 per share for the second quarter, far below the analyst consensus of $6.54. Revenue came in at $18.2 billion, slightly under the consensus estimate of $18.58 billion but up marginally from $18.1 billion in the same quarter last year. The substantial earnings miss was primarily driven by pre-tax losses on programs totaling $1.6 billion, which reduced earnings per share by $5.83. These included a $950 million loss on a classified Aeronautics program, a $570 million loss on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program, and a $95 million loss on the Turkish Utility Helicopter Program. "The program charges taken in the quarter – which resulted from our ongoing rigorous monitoring and review processes – are a necessary step as we continue to take action to improve program execution," said Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. Despite these challenges, the company reaffirmed its 2025 guidance for sales of $73.75-$74.75 billion, in line with the $74.4 billion analyst estimate. However, Lockheed cut its full-year EPS forecast to $21.70-$22.00, well below the previous guidance of $27.00-$27.30 and the analyst estimate of $27.46. Cash flow also weakened significantly, with cash from operations falling to $201 million from $1.9 billion a year earlier, while free cash flow turned negative at $(150) million compared to $1.5 billion in Q2 2024. "Our relentless focus on operational performance combined with our disciplined capital allocation strategy will enable us to deliver value to our shareholders, while providing the advanced solutions that America and its allies need," Taiclet added.
