Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Continental Resources stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "CONTINENTAL RESOURCES is a crude-oil concentrated, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company with operations in the Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. The Company focuses its operations in large new and developing plays where horizontal drilling, advanced fracture stimulation and enhanced recovery technologies provide the means to economically develop and produce oil and natural gas reserves from unconventional formations. " (8/2/2017)
• 2. KLR Group analysts commented, "We are upgrading CLR from Hold to Buy. We are increasing our target price $2 to $59 per share target price due to fractionally lower capital intensity and incremental late '17 production growth (Bakken/TFS DUC completions). Since our early December downgrade, CLR has depreciated ~20% and underperformed the sector by ~15%. CLR now has at least 20% upside and thus merits an upgrade to Buy.Our '17 production expectation of ~221 Mboepd is toward the low end of guidance (220-230 Mboepd). Our '17 exit rate expectation of 235-240 Mboepd is ~5% below company guidance (250-260 Mboepd). Continental's capital intensity is approximately 30% higher than the industry, though the company generates ~30% stronger cash operating margins. Accordingly, CLR's mid-cycle capital yield of ~140% approximates the industry median cash recycle ratio." (1/31/2017)
