November 9, 2009 10:29 AM EST

Capital One Southcoast downgrades Stone Energy (NYSE: SGY) from Add to Neutral. Price target $20.

Capital One analyst says, "The shares were up 5% on Friday and 29% last week (we upgraded on Monday)...Our take: We like the company but believe the stock is currently fully valued without modeling higher long-term commodities than our current $6.50/Mcf & $75/bbl long-term price deck. Our $20 NAV currently holds zero upside. On an 2010E EV/EBITDA basis, SGY is trading at 3.6x compared to 2.6x for WTI & 3.1x for MMR. On EV/1P based on YE08, SGY is trading at $2.91/Mcfe vs $2.52/Mcfe for WTI, $2.41/Mcfe for MMR, & $2.38/Mcfe for ME. If we assumed $80 oil & $7.00 gas for 2010+, our NAV would increase to $26."
