Canaccord Genuity upgraded Forest Oil (NYSE: FST) from Hold to Buy. PT $12.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "FST has declined over 40% since late February, underperforming the sector by ~15%. The stock now presents upside similar to the sector in our view and offers a compelling 50%+ potential return to our target price. More importantly, we believe Forest is close to finalizing an Eagle Ford joint venture. We expect this deal to lead to a meaningful uplift in share price and greater operational emphasis on the Eagle Ford, which we see as the most repeatable and productive oil asset in Forest’s portfolio."
