Portfolio News and Moves
Fourth-quarter earnings season is in full swing. Recent results and developments have prompted us to adjust our buy targets on a few holdings.
Focus Up
Our Focus List has continued to outperform the S&P 500 Energy Index over equivalent holding periods. Note that we have dropped MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX) from the Focus List after the stock gained more than 25 percent since early December and traded above our value-based buy target for more than a month.
What’s Behind the Recovery in the Midcontinent Rig Count?
These emerging shale plays are driving the recent recovery in Midcontinent drilling activity.
Upstream Takeover Targets
Some of the biggest winners from mergers and acquisitions activity in the US upstream space have been the acquirers. Deal flow will continue to focus on assets and private-equity outfits monetizing their investments. We prefer names with solid balance sheets and exposure to franchise assets with low production costs; these names will continue to take market share, outperform their and grow their inventories of potential drilling locations.
