Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK) price target of $28.00 (from $26.00).
Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We are increasing our price target due to lower midstream capital spending. Chesapeake announced it plans midstream sales for cash proceeds of more than $4 billion. The company plans to reduce midstream capital spending by $3 billion over the next three years, which we see positively from a value and liquidity standpoint."
"Looking to ’13, Chesapeake should outspend cash flow by ~$6 billion, less than our prior ~$6.5 billion estimate. Through identified asset sales, Chesapeake could pre-fund $1-4 billion of the ’13E shortfall."
