Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Petrohawk (NYSE: HK), raises PT from $36 to $39.

Canaccord analyst says, "We are increasing our target price due to higher Q1/11 production and lower operating expense, partly offset by lower price realizations. We continue to believe the market is under-appreciating the quality of the company’s Eagle Ford acreage and over-emphasizing capitalization concerns. Our� analysis suggests Petrohawk’s Black Hawk field has some of the best petrophysical� properties and highest returns in the Eagle Ford play. Additionally, proceeds from�the recent midstream monetizations along with the $300 million increase in the�borrowing base should provide adequate liquidity to execute the company’s goforward capital plan. HK trades at a ~10% discount (’12E EBITDA) to the sector though it has 1.5x the projected CFPS growth (’11-’13E CAGR), which we think creates a compelling value opportunity."
