Barrington Research initiates coverage on SM Energy (NYSE: SM) with an Outperform. PT $73.50.

Analyst, Rudolf A. Hokanson, said, "Increasing oil and liquids production as a percent of total production is expected to reach 50% by 2014. Programs in the Eagle Ford shale, Bakken/Three Forks and Granite Wash offer considerable opportunities. In 2012, capital spending will focus on oil and NGL-rich gas."

"SM Energy’s valuation fails to reflect the growing liquids and oil percentage of reserves and production. As the production becomes 50% oil and liquids over the next two to three years, oil will increasingly be a portion of that total mix as several plays evolve."
