UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Noble Energy (NYSE: NBL) price target raised from $120 to $124.
UBS analyst says, "Raising estimates on higher oil production mix: We now forecast ‘12-13 production growth of 13% & 11%, above the peer group averages of 10% & 9%. We have raised 2012-13 estimates to $5.95/$16.15 and $6.05/$17.90 from pre-release estimates of $5.85/$15.65 & $5.45/$16.50. The increase to our forecasts is largely due to a more oil-weighted production mix as NBL shifts capex from dry gas Marcellus to the liquids-rich horizontal Niobrara play and higher than expected Equatorial Guinea oil volumes."
