Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Pioneer Natural Resources (NYSE: PXD) price target lowered from $123 to $119.

Canaccord analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We are lowering our target price on the company’s 6.325 million share common stock offering (includes overallotment). Proceeds will go toward adding a second horizontal Wolfcamp rig in early ’12 and increasing activity to up to seven rigs by year-end ’12. Pioneer plans to drill ~80 horizontal Wolfcamp wells by year-end ’13 and anticipates drilling wells with 7,000’ laterals and 30+ frac stages. We note the planned increase in drilling activity is largely accounted for in our $2.2 billion ’12 capital plan. With the proceeds from this offering, we believe PXD has essentially bridged the ’12 capital spending shortfall."
