Parsley EnergyPETOP PICKSep 15, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jan 12, 2021. Market Open.
US oil stocks He holds 80% Canadian oil and 20% American, and those are two American stocks: Parsley and WPX-N. Good assets, better than peers. If you want American oil, but not Exxon Mobile, looks at these two.
At an $11 billion market cap, it is consider a mid-cap in the US. A Permian play producer, who can likely increase production by 20% per year for the next 7-10 years. It is inexpensive, when considering Midland Texas differentials are expected to narrow back in beginning next year. This could be an acquisition target in the future. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $41.44)
This is his biggest E & P holding. 90% hedged next year, so it is really a production story and a delineation story. They are spending more money next year than this year on delineation. They’ve had really good success in the new zone where they have 600 locations. They’ll be growing more than 50% next year. Relatively healthy balance sheet and a good hedge position. Trading at a discount relative to other Permian producers. There is upside from them continuing to delineate the Wolf Camp C, because the economics are pretty outstanding on “finding costs” at about $5 a barrel. (Analysts’ price target is $38.)
