HighPeak Energy (HPK) Plunges 7.98% on OPEC's Oil Price Drop

HighPeak Energy (HPK) shares plummeted 7.98% today, marking the fourth consecutive day of decline, with a total drop of 36.85% over the past four days. The stock price hit its lowest level since August 2021, experiencing an intraday decline of 10.00%.

BofA Securities initiated coverage of HighPeak Energy with an Underperform rating and a $10 price target. The cautious view is attributed to the influence of OPEC on the oil market, which has led to a significant decline in crude oil prices in early 2025. This downturn in oil prices is likely impacting HighPeak Energy's stock performance, as the company's operations, despite being cost-efficient, are considered less productive compared to core areas of the Midland basin. This makes the company more vulnerable to market fluctuations.
