Obsidian Energy ( (TSE:OBE) ) has provided an update.
On June 1, 2026, Obsidian Energy raised its 2026 capital budget by about $100 million to a range of $300–$325 million, aiming for roughly 15% total production growth and 22% light oil growth in 2027 while still generating incremental free cash flow. The move accelerates drilling and waterflood programs in Willesden Green and Peace River, keeps 2026 production guidance flat at 27,900–29,900 boe/d, and lifts forecast 2026 funds flow from operations to $317 million, improving leverage to about 0.9 times.
Roughly two-thirds of the extra capital will fund Belly River and Cardium light oil development in Willesden Green, including a two-rig program and additional PCU #11 activity, with the balance expanding Clearwater waterfloods and drilling in Peace River’s Dawson area. Obsidian also highlighted that it has accumulated more than 150 new land sections, mainly in Peace River, and set aside $10 million for exploratory drilling, reinforcing its longer-term growth runway while maintaining financial flexibility amid stronger oil price assumptions.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:OBE) stock is a Hold
with a C$18.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on OBE Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, OBE is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weakening financial performance and negative free cash flow, with additional uncertainty from a negative P/E. These are partially offset by strong technical momentum, with price trading well above key moving averages and positive MACD.
