Capital One SouthCoast initiates coverage on Atlas America (Nasdaq: ATLS) with an Add. Price target $24.
Capital One analyst says, "ATLS is merging with its subsidiary ATN, an MLP, in 2H09, which should increase its investor base and growth profile. At current prices, ATLS is trading at one of the biggest discounts to our estimated NAV in our E&P universe. ATLS's drilling is primarily in the Marcellus Shale, where it has drilled over 100 vertical wells, de-risking its acreage position in SW Pennsylvania. It is at the very beginning of its horizontal program with 3 wells announced to date. If successful, its horizontal drilling program could increase our NAV to over $30 per share based on long-term gas prices of $6.50/Mcf."
