California Resources (CRC) Stock Analysis & Forecast
Sep 28 close
$51.84−0.67 (−1.3%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryCalifornia Resources this week appears mainly in a comparative piece pitting the company against peer Kinetik across earnings, analyst recommendations, valuation, profitability, dividends, risk and institutional ownership, rather than in any company-specific development.
CRC closes at $51.84, down 1.3%, sitting below both its 50-day average of $53.24 and its 200-day average of $56.17, with the 50-day itself below the 200-day. The GekkoIndex reads 64.8, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone. Against Gekko Fair Value of $88.51, the shares trade 41.4% below that level.
Over the next 20 trading days, the next earnings report falls on 3 November 2026, 35 days out, placing it beyond a typical 20-day holding window; the prior report on 10 August 2026 showed EPS of $0.99 against an estimate of $1.31, with a 3.9% reaction and an average absolute reaction of 6.6% across past quarters. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears within their respective 90-day and 30-day windows. Seasonally, the equivalent 20-day stretch has averaged a 0.4% return over five years, rising in three of them, a modest historical pattern worth noting alongside the wider gap to Gekko Fair Value.

Last earnings call, Aug 10, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- CRC delivered solid Q2 results driven by operational execution, synergy capture, and drilling efficiency gains. The company announced the Crimson acquisition, adding ~2,000 miles of California crude pipelines, and completed the Line 100 pipeline purchase from Phillips 66. CRC achieved first revenue at California's first commercial-scale CCS project at Elk Hills. Temporary takeaway constraints pressured oil price differentials but management expects resolution through new transportation agreements.
- Guidance
- Management expects pipeline dispute resolution and new transportation agreements to restore differentials to historical levels. CRC anticipates final CPUC approval for the Crimson acquisition later this month. Updates on the RCPPP natural gas with CCS market opportunity are expected this fall.
