KeyBanc downgrades Berry Petroleum Company (NYSE: BRY) from Buy to Hold.
KeyBanc analyst says, "We are downgrading our rating on shares of Berry Petroleum to HOLD based on valuation and a lack of near-term catalysts. Since we initiated coverage of the Company on June 25, 2009 at a price of $16.74 per share, BRY's share price has increased by 79.75% compared to our universe's average increase of 64.8% and the S&P 500's increase of 20.03% over the same period...Despite the downgrade, we continue to like the fundamentals of the Company. We believe BRY has the ability and the inventory of projects to increase production by a CAGR of 14% over the next four years while operating with a low cost structure. Furthermore, the Company has taken concerns of liquidity off the table and has enough dry powder to acquire additional bolt-on type properties without straining the balance sheet."
