FBR Capital upgraded EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) to Outperform. PT$ 130.
FBR analyst says, "By holding the impact of technology constant, we believe that the marketplace continues to be fundamentally flawed in its approach to valuing the E&P sector in general and in this case EOG specifically. Our analysis indicates that with every doubling of cumulative well count, a shale play exhibits a “predictable” 15%–23% improvement in productivity or learning as measured by improvements in 30-day average production rates...This predictable nature of improvement gives us the comfort that EOG can deliver production growth of 9% in 2H11 versus 1H11 for a total 8% in 2011 and 15% production growth in 2012. However, current market sentiment and valuation suggest lower growth rates are expected by the marketplace."
