Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Anadarko Petroleum Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "The drop in the company’s share price was wider than the broader industry's loss in the last six months. The modifications in laws and regulations, and competition from major integrated oil companies pose risks to the stock. Anadarko Petroleum’s premium shale properties, which include the Delaware and Denver-Julesburg basins, and the Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, are expected to be the primary production drivers. To focus on high-return assets and achieve capital efficiency, Anadarko Petroleum has been systematically selling its non-core properties." (7/11/2017)
• 2. Instinet analysts commented, "Given that the 2017 guide is marginally below published consensus on oil/production, and above on headline capex, we suspect the stock will open relatively weak." (3/8/2017)
• 3. KLR Group analysts commented, "Our composite weighted average cost-of-capital values the midstream business at ~11x next year's cash generation (Western Gas Equity Partners (WGP, $44.87, NR)/Western Gas Partners (WES, $61.38, NR) valuation) and the mineral royalties at ~20x cash generation. Anadarko's mid-cycle capital yield of ~150% is modestly above the industry median cash recycle ratio of ~140%." (2/1/2017)
• 4. J P Morgan Chase & Co analysts commented, "Monsanto shares offer an attractive risk/reward proposition in our opinion. We think a reasonable floor price for the shares, in the event of a disruption of the Bayer/Monsanto combination, is $100/sh or 20x our $5.00 estimate for F2018 EPS. Should Bayer’s purchase of Monsanto be consummated, Monsanto shareholders would receive $128/share, most likely by the end of 2017. We believe that Monsanto’s product overlaps with Bayer are modest, manageable, and are unlikely to stand in the way of the transaction. Importantly, we think that the business combination is likely to lead to more agricultural innovation rather than less. Monsanto continues to increase its share of the global corn and soybean markets by demonstrating technology strength." (10/6/2016)
