Concho Resources (NYSE:CXO) Should Grow at 24% Rate Annually

According to Global Hunter, which just initiated coverage on Concho Resources, they should be able to grow organically at a 24 percent rate annually for the next several years.

Global says, "Concho is launching an aggressive drilling
campaign on its recently acquired Permian assets which should fuel exceptional growth in production and reserves...The company is well followed and its stock was one of the top performers in 2010. However, our model indicates the company is positioned to grow production organically at a compound annual growth rate of 24% per year for the next several years. In 2011, we expect the company's
production to materially exceed guidance."

Global Hunter Securities started with a "Buy" rating on Concho Resources (CXO), which closed Friday at $91.25, gaining $3.60, or 4.11 percent. Global has a price target of $130 on Concho.

Pioneer (NYSE:PXD), Devon (NYSE:DVN), Apache (NYSE:APA), Approach (Nasdaq:AREX), Cimarex (NYSE:XEC), Concho (NYSE:CXO) Top Bakken, Eagle Ford Exposure

With Eagle Ford and Bakken being a major part of the emergence of shale, FBR Capital noted that among those with the most exposure are Pioneer (NYSE:PXD), Devon (NYSE:DVN), Apache (NYSE:APA), Approach (Nasdaq:AREX), Cimarex (NYSE:XEC) and Concho (NYSE:CXO).

Heading into earnings, within their coverage universe Pioneer likes Pioneer and Devon.

FBR says, "As the shale revolution has unfolded, capital has rotated into the newest, most promising emerging asset class and helped fund the exploratory phase. Last year had belonged primarily to the Eagle Ford and Bakken as the underlying equities materially outperformed. Starting second half of last year, the Permian basin, which historically has produced billions of barrels of oil equivalent, came into investor focus. This year, we believe outsized gains will belong to equities with material exposure to the Permian basin. During the first half of the year, key exploratory catalysts are expected across the three main Permian sub-basins. Industry progress and success should help shed light on potential magnitude of additional recoverable reserves from the Permian basin. As such, our preference going into earnings would be to favor (from within our coverage universe) Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) (Outperform) and Devon Energy (DVN) (Outperform). Investors also seem to favor Apache (APA) (Market Perform), Approach Resources (AREX) (Not Rated), Cimarex (XEC) (Market Perform), and Concho Resources (CXO) (Not Rated) for exposure to this trend."

Pioneer was trading at $93.70, gaining $0.29, or 0.31 percent, as of 12:07 PM EST. Devon was trading at $83.32, up $0.53, or 0.64 percent.

UBS (NYSE:UBS), Canaccord Maintain "Buy" on Concho Resources (NYSE:CXO)

UBS (NYSE:UBS) and Canaccord Genuity both say they're maintaining their "Buy" rating on Concho Resources (NYSE:CXO).

Canaccord said, "We are reiterating our rating with greater conviction based on the closure of the Marbob deal, the announced divestiture plan and the announced Bone Spring acreage update. We continue to be impressed by the company’s management team and its laser focus on high return oily plays in the Permian Basin. With these announcements, we believe the company is well positioned to outperform based on its stronger asset base and increasing investor interest in the Bone Spring trend."

They have a price target of $74 on Concho.

"CXO will pay roughly $1.3bn (vs. $1.65bn prior) for Marbob after $400m in
pref rights were exercised on Yeso, NM shelf assets (which may be
reversed)...Importantly, CXO disclosed that it acquired 150k net acres in the Bone Spring as part of the deal, vs. 100k previously thought, which is
incremental to our NAV by $3/share...We are lowering our 2011/2012 estimates to $9.93/$11.01 from $10.25/$11.80 owing to lower incremental volumes from the acquisition," said UBS.

They lifted Concho's price target from $70 to $76.
