Precision Drilling is For The Patient And Oil Bulls
Analysts John Daniel and John Watson are of the view that the only premise on which investing can be done in companies with undifferentiated, asset-intensive businesses and inferior returns on capital over time is by being constructive on oil prices.
"A nuanced or range bound outcome for oil prices will result in these discounted enterprises as being value traps and a bearish outcome will yield additional downside and continued relative underperformance," the analysts said.
Simmons & Company said, for oilfield service company Precision Drilling, which screen attractive on RV, it is not making an implicit call that its stock should rally quickly simply on an NAV valuation basis, as it believes there remains a wide range of outcomes for 2018.
The firm believes stocks trading below their RV and having no near-term debt maturities should be viewed as tactical purchases by those who are patient and believe oil prices have a higher trajectory over time.

Meanwhile, the firm said following its downward adjustment of price target for Sanchez Energy, it offers about 35 percent upside to its price target/NA, above the average group potential.
However, despite the upside potential, analysts Kashy Harrison and David Kistler believe the company's leverage is well above peers increasing the risk profile should commodity prices decline. The analysts also noted that Sanchez Energy's EBITDAX multiples screen above the small-cap non-Permian peer group, which makes for a more challenging risk/reward proposition.
Simmons & Company believes a higher commodity price and large divestitures are needed to materially address leverage concerns. If the forward commodity prices move higher, the firm believes the company's shares offer substantial upside potential as it could then redeploy incremental cash flow/capital to the drillbit to generate robust organic production growth and accelerate asset value.
As such, the firm lowered its 2017 and 2018 earnings per share estimates for Sanchez Energy, with the new estimates below the current consensus estimates.
