MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Inpex
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Inpex Co.:

  • Inpex Co. recently raised its full-year profit forecast by up to 46% to a record 510 billion yen, driven by higher oil prices and strong output from its Ichthys LNG project in Australia, signaling robust operational performance and financial strength.
  • The company demonstrated strong profitability in its most recent quarterly results, reporting earnings per share of $0.60 and a net margin of 19.02%, indicating efficient cost management and high earnings quality relative to its revenue base.
  • With a current stock price of $25.01, Inpex Co. offers a relatively low P/E ratio of 10.51, which may present a valuation opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the energy sector at a price that is below the broader market average.
  • The stock exhibits a very low beta of 0.14, suggesting that Inpex Co. shares are significantly less volatile than the overall market, which can provide a stabilizing effect for portfolios sensitive to broader economic fluctuations.
  • Inpex Co. is expanding its business into emerging areas such as hydrogen, ammonia, renewable energy, and carbon capture, diversifying its revenue streams beyond traditional oil and gas exploration and production.

Inpex
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Inpex Co. for these reasons:

  • The Australian environmental regulator has charged Inpex Co. with under-reporting emissions from its Ichthys LNG plant, creating legal and regulatory risks that could lead to fines or operational restrictions.
  • Short interest in Inpex Co. increased significantly in August, rising 129.7% to 59,799 shares, which may indicate that some market participants are betting against the stock or hedging their positions.
  • The company faced labor disputes at its Ichthys LNG facility, including a strike by approximately 400 workers and a safety complaint filed by a union alleging the use of unqualified workers, which poses operational and reputational risks.
  • Inpex Co. experienced a gap down in its stock price on September 3, 2026, falling to $25.01 from a previous close of $25.93, reflecting recent negative market sentiment or specific trading pressures.
  • The stock has underperformed relative to its 52-week high of $31.10, currently trading at $25.01, which suggests that investors may be concerned about the company's future growth prospects or current market conditions.
