Coterra Energy completed its all-stock merger with Devon Energy, was delisted from the NYSE, and converted shareholder exposure into Devon shares.

Devon Energy completed its merger with Coterra on May 7, 2026, delisting CTRA and converting shares into Devon stock (0.70 DVN/share). The transaction triggered an 8.6% CTRA drop as arbitrage closed. Coterra’s Q1 showed strong cash flow ($1.646B), higher liquids production, a $0.22 dividend, and debt paydown—factors that feed into Devon’s $1B synergy target and pro forma strength. Investors should now analyze Devon (DVN) for synergy execution, capital allocation, and upcoming earnings.

Devon Energy closed its merger with Coterra on May 7, 2026, converting CTRA shares into DVN at 0.70 ratio and delisting Coterra. The deal and Q1 results drove an ~8.6% post-close share drop tied to deal mechanics, while Coterra reported strong operating cash flow ($1.646B) and production gains but missed revenue and EPS expectations. Integration, $1B synergy targets, and tracking the combined DVN are now the investor focus.

Coterra Energy’s May 1 Q1 report and ongoing Middle East supply disruptions drove last week’s investor focus.
