Mizuho analyst Nitin Kumar reiterated a Neutral rating and $248.00 price target on Gulfport Energy (NYSE: GPOR)

The analyst commented, "We expect GPOR to report 1Q26 EBITDAX ~14% below Street estimates, with the CEO transition likely to be the primary focus on the call. While John Reinhart’s departure introduces near-term uncertainty, the company has emphasized stability across the existing leadership bench. Beyond the management transition, the core story remains intact, centered on a high-quality, gas-weighted asset base with low breakevens and a capital-disciplined program and strategic land spending. Near term, 1Q reflects a heavier capital profile, incremental land spend, and hedge headwinds, but the setup improves meaningfully into the back half of 2026 as capital steps down and production builds. We would expect investor focus to center on execution against this cadence and the durability of the company’s buyback-led return framework as free cash flow inflects higher through the year. Maintain $248 NAV-based price target and Neutral rating."
