Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Superior Energy Services stock:

• 1. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "As we better reflect our assumptions for activity trajectory across SPN's businesses, we lower estimates, tweak our PT to $19 from $20 and downgrade to Hold as we see shares as fairly valued. We see better options for exposure to U.S. Completions recovery in other names (and anyway any scarcity value is compromised by the recent and expected IPOs). Longer term, more measured assumptions about deepwater demand temper our outlook as well." (2/17/2017)
