Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Concho Resources (NYSE: CXO) price target of $131.00.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We believe Concho offers ~10% less upside than the sector though should spend only 10% beyond cash generation this year, while the sector outspends cash flow by ~40%. We believe the company’s conservative spending translates into less potential downside risk to estimates and our target in an uncertain macro environment. We expect a relatively uneventful reporting cycle for Concho given the company’s terse operational updates and previously announced ’12 spending/production guidance."
