Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Cimarex Energy Co stock:

• 1. UBS AG analysts commented, "XEC's premium relative valuation and a back-half weighted catalyst calendar leave us waiting for a better entry on the stock. While we are big fans of the new growth strategy & see upside to 2018 Street production based on drawdown of the YE17 DUC backlog, we'd first like to see XEC deliver a few quarters of Permian oil growth, ramp up the rig count (given the steep growth this year) and provide some details on 2018 capital allocation to become more constructive on our current estimates. XEC stands out with its enviable long inventory life of top-tier locations in the core of Delaware and Mid-Continent. The 2017 outlook marked a clear shift in strategy from preservation to growth, underscoring quality of its assets in the current oil price environment and management's commitment to pull forward the value of its inventory."

• 2. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "We're raising our 2017-18 estimates for Cimarex following 4Q16 results and 2017 capital budget and guidance, while our target price increases to $170. Increased activity, higher margin oil growth, and strong momentum entering 2018 are the biggest differences and translate to a 12% increase to our 2018 EBITDAX estimate. Cimarex shares now trade at a ~1.5x discount on 2018 EV/EBITDAX to its two closest Permian peers (PXD and CXO) and inline with the median of our large cap E&P coverage, despite ~1,000bp higher debt-adjusted production growth (16:1) over 2017-19." (2/21/2017)
• 3. KLR Group analysts commented, "We are upgrading XEC from Hold to Buy. We are increasing our target price $21 to $174 per share due to ~4% higher oil composition (greater oil composition in the Anadarko Woodford) and higher price realizations. Our '17 production expectation of ~1,086 Mmcfepd is slightly above the midpoint of guidance (1,060-1,100 Mmcfepd). The material increase in value and modest YTD equity depreciation imply ~30% of equity upside, thus meriting an upgrade to Buy." (2/17/2017)
• 4. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cimarex Energy’s combination of exposure to two most coveted areas in the country - Delaware Basin and Mid-Continent/STACK - along with a strong balance sheet provides it the ability to accelerate activity in a sustained price recovery environment.  The company’s continued effort to improve well performance is also noteworthy. Going forward we believe the company presents with a windows of opportunity to rake in profits with any upswing in crude prices. However, Cimarex’s focus on only two basins exposes it to diversification risk. Due to all the pilot projects being drilled but not completed, it will see a sequential production decline in the coming quarters. Moreover, at present, the company is still exposed to a steadily falling crude price environment, interest rate risks and an uncertain macro backdrop.  As such, we see Cimarex shares performing in line with the broader market."
