Expand Energy Corp is a good buy right now, trading at $88.22 with a forward P/E of 9.59, which is attractive compared to the industry average. The gross margin has improved significantly to 63.64% in Q1 2026, indicating strong profitability. However, the main risk is the recent downgrade in price targets by analysts, with Mizuho lowering its target to $138, which suggests a potential downside if market conditions worsen.
