Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Bill Barrett (NYSE: BBG) price target of $41.00.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "BBG offers ~15% differential upside potential owing to unrecognized value related to the ongoing increase in oil development principally in the Uinta Basin. In our view, the company is appropriately deferring dry gas drilling this year. In the Uinta Basin, an increase in permitting cycle times or exploration success on fee mineral lands would further accelerate oil-directed activity. Additionally, the company offers exploration upside in the Powder River Basin. Finally, asset divestitures and additional refinery commitments would also serve as catalysts."
