Price Chart
Executive Summary
Obsidian Energy increased its 2026 capital program by ~$100M to $300-$325M, targeting ~15% production growth in 2027. Forecast 2026 FFO jumps 40% to $317M ($4.74/share) and net debt/FFO improves to ~0.9x, assuming US$80/bbl WTI in H2 2026. The company also acquired over 150 sections of land in the Peace River Oil Sands fairway.
Actionable Insight
The significant capital program increase and 15% production growth target for 2027 signal strong operational momentum and management confidence. Monitor Q3 2026 operational updates for well results and waterflood progress, which will determine if the growth trajectory is on track. The improved netback assumptions are heavily dependent on sustained US$80/bbl WTI — any commodity price weakness would pressure FCF.
