UBS maintains a 'Neutral' on Ultra Petroleum (NYSE: UPL) price target lowered from $22 to $20.
Analyst, William A. Featherston, said, "Key conference call takeaways: 1) Management commented they are unlikely to add rigs in the Pinedale until price reaches >$5/MMBtu, hinting that the play may see a prolonged period of prod’n declines; 2) APC (4 to 1) & Shell (5 to 3) are cutting Marcellus rigs; 3) expects results from the 1st Geneseo test well in 2Q; & 4) In the DJ basin, UPL’s evaluating vertical well results & plans to drill its 1st horizontal well this summer."
"We are reducing ‘13 growth forecast from +3% to -4% and revising ‘12-13 EPS/CFPS to $1.35/$5.00 & $0.90/$4.30 from $1.35/$4.90 & $1.00/$4.45. Our revised ‘13E production forecast of 246 Bcfe is below consensus of 272 Bcfe."
