Institutional investors are increasing their holdings in Devon Energy (DVN) as crude oil prices exceed $100 per barrel and the company approaches its merger with Coterra Energy in Q2 2026. This strategic positioning aims to create a “Mega-Independent” producer with substantial free cash flow, bolstered by operational efficiencies and a strong capital return program for shareholders. Analysts at Raymond James have raised their price target due to anticipated strengthened free cash flow from elevated commodity prices.
