Capital One Southcoast Downgrades Arena Resources (ARD) to Neutral

November 6, 2009 9:49 AM EST

Capital One Southcoast downgrades Arena Resources (NYSE: ARD) from Add to Neutral. Price target increased from $41 to $43.

Capital One analyst says, "We are increasing our ARD target by $2 to $43 but downgrading the stock to NEUTRAL from ADD as our new target represents <1% upside...Our take: ARD is a well-run company with great oil exposure and an outstanding balance sheet that we believe is currently fully valued. We could arrive at a higher valuation by modeling a higher number of well locations and higher commodity prices, but we don't believe either is warranted at this time. We currently model average Fuhrman-Mascho wells in line with the 35 Mboe mentioned by the company in its earnings call yesterday."
