Scotia Capital Markets maintains its Perform rating on Apache APA and increases its one-year price target by $5 to $110 as the company reports above consensus for Q4.
Scotia Capital Markets says, "Production of 759 Mboe/d was above our estimate of 751 Mboe/d, primarily due to strong U.S. oil and liquids volumes. The capital budget for the year is estimated at $9.5 billion and is well within cash flow at strip pricing, though it remains flexible based upon market conditions. With this budget, company-wide production is expected to grow between 7% and 13% despite over half of the capital going to projects expected to grow production in 2013 and beyond."
APA closed at $107.61 a share on Friday.
