• Negative Sentiment: Zacks Research issued multiple sequential cuts to Ovintiv’s quarterly and annual EPS forecasts across recent notes (Q4 2025–Q4 2027 and FY2025–FY2027). Examples: several quarter trims (Q1–Q4 across 2025–2027) and FY cuts (FY2025 lowered to ~$5.92 from $6.01; FY2026 to ~4.87–4.88; FY2027 trimmed to the mid‑$6s). These pervasive downward revisions signal weaker forward earnings outlooks and are a clear negative for longer‑term valuation. Zacks Research estimate revisions (MarketBeat)
