- 2. J P Morgan Chase & Co analysts commented, "JPM View: After facing stiff headwinds in the commodity price collapse given its stretched balance sheet, management has not stood still and has continued to make progress in adapting its business model to the reality of lower commodity prices. In addition to repurchasing its debt at significant discounts to par, management has added hedges and announced a nifty sliding scale royalty agreement with its landowner (University Lands) that will support a return to activity in its Wolfcamp play, with a 1 rig program. On the other hand, EPE has dropped its lone Eagle Ford (EF) rig, with plans to work-off its 42 well DUC inventory in the EF for the time being. We have updated our model to incorporate 2Q16 actuals and updated guidance, including the impact of the new sliding scale royalty regime in the Permian Basin." (8/15/2016)

Consensus Ratings for EP Energy Corporation (NYSE:EPE) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?) MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.
MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.
