Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Forbes Energy Services (NASDAQ: FES) price target of $10.00.

Analyst, Scott Burk, said, "February operating data was slightly lower than our expectations, and reduced gas drilling activity should have a near-term negative effect. We make slight EPS adjustments and reiterate our rating given what we view as a cheap valuation and robust growth profile."

"Forbes hasn’t seen any pricing pressure in the Eagle Ford for either of its product lines. Conversely, other companies’ product lines (primarily frac) are seeing some softness as equipment moves from the Haynesville to the Eagle Ford."
