The miss and steep revenue decline are negative, but the stock may be cushioned by strong FCF and the transformative Coterra merger closing imminently. Watch for post-merger synergies and capital returns guidance in mid-June; near-term volatility likely as market digests weak standalone results vs merger upside.
