Carrizo Oil & Gas (NASDAQ: CRZO) had its target price trimmed by Oppenheimer from $36.00 to $30.00 in a report issued on Wednesday.
“We believe CRZO shares are attractive based on the company’s above-peer average oil growth profile, which we estimate to be 30% in 2013, and a low relative valuation. CRZO’s production growth is expected to come primarily from a ramp-up in crude oil and condensate volumes from the Eagle Ford, with additional growth in the Niobrara, Marcellus and in 2014, the Utica. We anticipate the oil/gas mix will increase from 30% in 2012 to nearly 40% in 2013. Higher liquid volumes should significantly boost 2013 operating cash flow and ease any capital funding concerns that investors may have.,” Oppenheimer’s analyst wrote.
