4/20/2010-Morgan Stanley Equity Research issued a tactical trading idea to its clients regarding shares of Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM), which they hold an Equal-weight rating on.
MS said they expect the stock's price to rise in absolute terms over the next 60 days.
Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Richardson said, "This is because the stock has traded off recently, making short term valuation much more compelling. TLM has lagged the EPX ~16% YTD and now trades at 92% of its proved reserves at the current strip vs. 106% historically. We believe the company's asset transformation remains underappreciated by the market. The company recently sold conventional natural gas assets in Canada for C$1.9Bn (in-line with trading metrics at ~$44/mboe/d and ~$16/boe). This enabled the company to high-grade its asset base, fill the funding gap, and redeploy capital to higher return projects. We see three upcoming catalysts 1) In-line 1Q despite recent investor concern 2) International exploration results (Chiriguaro and Situche 3x expected next) 3) Analyst Day on May 13th where we anticipate details on Marcellus ramp. We believe very little execution/upside is priced into the stock at current levels."
MS estimated that there was about an 80% or "almost certain" probability for the scenario to take place.
