Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Cabot Oil & Gas (NYSE: COG) price target of $65.00.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We reiterate our rating and maintain our target price following minor model refinements. Cabot’s capital productivity is almost twice the peer average (EQT Corp (NYSE: EQT), Range (NYSE: RRC), Southwestern (NYSE: SWN) and Ultra (NYSE: UPL)). Our ’13 estimates clearly demonstrate the power of the company’s productivity. Next year, we believe Cabot should generate almost 4x the production growth while spending almost 40% less than cash flow as the peers spend ~30% beyond cash flow. Accordingly, we see ~40% upside to COG shares even in a long-term $4 gas price environment while EQT, RRC, SWN and UPL have ~30% downside potential in this bear-case scenario."
