Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on PDC Energy (NASDAQ: PDCE) price target of $36.00 (from $39.00).

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We are lowering our PDCE target price $3 to $36 per share due to 8% lower expected ’12 production and higher operating expense. The production revision is related to elevated Wattenberg field line pressure resulting from third-party midstream facilities issues and poor compressor performance given exceptionally hot summer weather...Importantly, the lower production outlook is not related to well/reservoir performance, and we reiterate our rating."
