Canaccord Genuity assumes coverage on SM Energy (NYSE: SM) with a Buy. PT $101 (from $84 previously).

Canaccord analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We believe the company’s Eagle Ford well performance is underappreciated due to infrastructure limitations. Once midstream issues are alleviated, we believe company-wide production should meaningfully exceed guidance. Execution in line with our expectation should eliminate SM’s 25% discount to the group (’12E EBITDA) as the company demonstrates CFPS growth (’11-’13E) comparable to its peers."
