Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on St. Mary's (NYSE: SM) price target of $123.00.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We believe SM should report stronger-than-expected Q4/11 and Q1/12 production and at least double Galvan Ranch drilling locations this year. SM shares have twice the upside to our target as the group. SM trades at a 10% discount (’12E EBITDA), yet we believe it should generate ~40% greater CFPS growth (’11-’13E) than the sector. We project SM should spend ~40% beyond cash flow this year while the group outspends cash generation by ~30%."
