Consol Energy Inc. CNX is the largest Northern Appalachian coal producer with diverse energy assets (thermal coal, met coal, and natural gas), Jefferies & Company reports. Q3 shipments were strong despite the idling of Mine 84 and sale of Jones Fork.
“Our price target of $55 per share reflects 7x EV/EBITDA multiple on our 2012 forecasted EBITDA of $2.2 billion and 12.5x 2012 EPS; in line with historical valuation,” Jefferies & Company writes. “Risks relate to a decline in energy prices, slowdown in the global met/ thermal market, domestic energy regulation, sustainable sub-$4.00 natural gas prices.”
Consol Energy closed Friday at $36.76.
