Canaccord Genuity on Energy - Oilfield Services: Recession Stress Test, Reducing Targets

Canaccord analyst, Scott Burk, said, "Further sustained declines in oil prices would put our current earnings estimates at risk, especially for North American land focused providers. We are reducing our target prices and considering a recessionary downside scenario for our covered service companies. Our new targets are based on low-end (peak) multiples. Risk/reward favors going long the stocks unless oil prices are expected to retrace below $50/bbl for an extended period."
