May 16, 2008 8:54 AM EDT

Capitol One Southcoast initiates coverage on Rex Energy (Nasdaq: REXX) with a Strong Buy rating and a $33 price target, which could represent a 38% return from yesterday's closing price of $23.94.

The firm believes that shares of Rex could triple of the next two years, "based on its oil leverage, exposure to a tertiary oil project in Illinois, and the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania." Interestingly, Capital One's $33 target on Rex is based on a long-term oil of $80/bbl, but if this price is adjusted to $90/bbl, its price target would move to $37.

Rex Energy Corporation operates as an independent oil and gas company in the Illinois Basin, the Appalachian Basin, and the Southwestern Region of the United States.
