Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Concho Resources (NYSE: CXO) price target of $127.00.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "CXO has almost 30% upside potential to our target, almost 20 percentage points more than Permian rival PXD. Our proprietary analysis of development capital intensity, price realizations and operating costs suggests a typical Concho well generates a higher return than a typical Pioneer well...Additionally, our CXO target is likely conservative as we model the company spending only 10% beyond cash generation this year while Pioneer/the sector outspends cash flow ~30%. Greater organic capital spending would be accretive to our target. Notably, our ’12 production expectation of 29.1 Mmboe is 2% above company guidance."
