Murphy Oil (MUR) is higher in Wednesday, April 29, 2026 trading as the market digests a newly circulated FY2026 earnings model update from Scotiabank and positions ahead of the company’s next earnings release. The timing matters: with the next earnings date set for May 6, near-term revisions to full-year assumptions can quickly shift sentiment in a stock that’s been trading as a crude-sensitive name.

The Scotiabank note adds to a steady drumbeat of 2026 estimate and price-target updates across the Street in recent weeks, including multiple target raises reported in April and late March. With MUR already trading above many published consensus targets shown on major tracking pages, incremental bullishness tends to show up as “catch-up” buying and short covering when estimates move in a favorable direction or when investors anticipate stronger cash-flow sensitivity to oil.

Murphy Oil’s next quarterly earnings are scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, 2026 (after market close), with a follow-on conference call/webcast the next morning. Into that window, energy equities often trade on estimate revisions, commodity tape action, and positioning—especially when no single company press release dominates the day’s headlines.
