UPDATE - Canaccord Genuity upgraded Cimarex Energy (NYSE: XEC) from Hold to Buy, price target maintained at $84.00.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "We are raising XEC to BUY and maintaining our target at $84 as a stronger shift to oil offsets higher operating expense. XEC overreacted to the upside following Q4 results, in our view. Since then, the stock has declined over 20% while Permian peers have fallen only ~10%. We now see ~10% greater upside versus Permian peers as Cimarex offers a similar CFPS growth outlook (’12-’14E) though trades at a ~20% discount (’12E EBITDA)."
