Analyst Gail Nicholson commented, "We are increasing our target price $1 to $18 per share following a ~5% improvement in our organic capital productivity assumption due to Wild Basin well outperformance and the integration of the company's recent Williston Basin acquisition partly offset by the equity issuance. Following our model adjustments, OAS generates a '18 capital yield (cash recycle ratio) of 135%+, up from ~130% previously, vs. the group median of ~125%."
