Devon Energy outlined a more aggressive capital-return strategy after reporting its third-quarter 2026 results on Thursday, November 5. The company said its post-Coterra portfolio review would support larger buybacks, a stronger Permian focus and further debt reduction, according to its shareholder letter and results release.

Devon Energy stock traded at 40.04 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 16:46:15 CET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. That was 1.856 percent above the 39.31-euro quote in the relevant own report published at 13:50 CET the same day, a separate comparison from the daily Xetra close.

Buybacks take priority

Management expects fourth-quarter share repurchases to exceed USD 1 billion and said the pace should rise further in 2027. The plan will be supported in part by the roughly USD 3.5 billion of after-tax proceeds expected from the Eagle Ford asset sale.

Devon also plans to repay an additional USD 1.5 billion of long-term debt in 2027, targeting gross debt of USD 9 billion. The Eagle Ford transaction, announced for USD 4.2 billion in cash, remains subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in early 2027.

Permian anchors the outlook

The preliminary 2027 plan directs 75 percent of capital spending to the Permian Basin, compared with approximately 63 percent in 2026. Devon expects total 2027 capital spending of approximately USD 5.3 billion, with oil production of approximately 525,000 barrels per day and total production of approximately 1.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day after the planned Eagle Ford sale.

Devon said third-quarter discretionary cash flow reached USD 3.5 billion, while adjusted free cash flow was USD 2 billion after USD 1.5 billion of capital investment. The quarter was the first full period to include Coterra operations following the merger completed in May.

The third-quarter results release said Devon also published an initial 2027 outlook and scheduled its earnings call for November 6.
