UBS Reaffirms Buy on Devon Energy (DVN) as Cost Cuts Accelerate

Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) ranks among the stocks with the lowest forward PE ratios. On January 20, UBS reaffirmed its Buy rating and $46 price target for Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN), ahead of the company’s Q4 2025 earnings. Analyst Josh Silverstein, who boosted the company back in December as part of the firm’s 2026 projection, said Devon’s continued cost-cutting initiative might drive down 2026/27 expenditure.

UBS expects Devon’s impending results to validate efforts toward these goals and highlight solid operational performance that will sustain volumes at the upper end of both oil and overall production estimates.
