Jim Cramer pushed back after analysts cut Chevron's price target. With an Alpha Score of 65, the stock may be undervalued as oil uncertainty looms.
Jim Cramer wasn't happy about a recent price target cut on Chevron (NYSE: CVX). The CNBC host pushed back against the analyst's move, according to a report from Insider Monkey. The report did not specify the new target or the firm behind the cut, but Cramer's reaction signals he sees the energy giant as undervalued.
Chevron shares have traded lower this year alongside broader weakness in the energy sector. Crude oil prices have slipped this quarter on concerns over global demand and rising supply from non-OPEC producers. The stock now sits near the lower end of its 52-week range.
AlphaScala's proprietary model assigns Chevron an Alpha Score of 65 out of 100, a "Moderate" rating. The score reflects a balanced risk-reward profile, with the stock's valuation and dividend yield offering some support even as near-term oil price uncertainty persists.
For investors, Cramer's pushback adds a voice to the bull case. The real driver remains crude's direction. The next OPEC+ meeting and weekly U.S. inventory data will provide the next concrete signals.
