In a report released today, Jeff Grampp from Northland Securities reiterated a Buy rating on Ring Energy (REI), with a price target of $4. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $2.20.
Grampp said:
“We reiterate our Outperform rating on REI but decrease our PT from $6 to $4 as we update estimates to reflect the lower growth trajectory for the company as it manages towards a FCF+ development program. We think FCF+ is achievable in 2020 but with modest growth in the single digit range. This strategy should allow it to improve liquidity through paying down debt and also note management continues to assess non-core asset sales. In-Line: REI reported 2Q19 Adjusted EBITDA of $33MM, slightly above consensus of $31MM and in-line with our estimate of $34MM. Production of 10,860 BOEPD (90% oil) was slightly higher than the 10,725 BOEPD pre-reported last month.”
According to TipRanks.com, Grampp has currently no stars on a ranking scale of 0-5 stars, with an average return of -16.0% and a 21.6% success rate. Grampp covers the Basic Materials sector, focusing on stocks such as Penn Virginia Corporation, Sundance Energy Australia, and SilverBow Resources Inc.
