    Chesapeake Energy shares tumble after Goldman downgrades to sell

    Chesapeake Energy shares slid 4% Friday, after Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock to sell and said it expects the company to have less favorable supply cost and corporate returns than rivals. Analysts led by Brian Singer said an analysis of U.S. supply cost/competitive positioning implications from 2018 reserve reports and its own projections for 2019 cash margins found that the median U.S. supply cost to achieve an 11% after-tax rate of return is $53 a barrel. That supports a $50 to $55 a barrel price range for West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark. Goldman's mid-cycle price is at the upper end of that range. Analysts are advising clients to buy low cost oil suppliers, Encana Corp. , Parsley Energy Inc. , Pioneer Natural Resources Co. , EOG Resources Inc. and Chevron Corp. , all of which are buy rated. (The note was published ahead of Chevron's acquisition earlier today of Anadarko Petroleum Corp.) Goldman is recommending selling stocks where their valuation post rally appears at odds with competitive positioning, downgrading Cheseapeake, California Resources Corp. and upgrading Murphy Oil Corp. to neutral. For Chesapeake, " we see less favorable supply cost and corporate returns and believe further leverage improvement is still warranted post-WRD (Wildhorse) acquisition," they wrote in a note. Chesapeake shares have gained 1.3% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 8.9%.

    ECA Stock Is Right Where It Needs to Be as Oil Prices Start Rising

    After weeks of stagnation, Encana (NYSE:ECA) is poised for bigger things. The Canadian exploration and production company completed its purchase of Newfield Exploration in February. ECA stock could finally see a move higher for a couple of reasons.Source: Shutterstock This makes Encana the second-largest producer of unconventional resources in North America. More important, the company also appears poised to benefit from rising oil prices.Due to the increasing value of its unconventional energy, Encana stock looks poised to drill for increasing value.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * The Elite 8 Stocks to Buy for Massive Outperformance ECA Stock and an Oil-Focussed ApproachBased in Calgary, Alberta, Encana owns key assets in the Duvernay and Montney resources in the Canadian Rockies. ECA also benefits from substantial holdings in Texas's Permian Basin and Eagle Ford shales.Now, the Newfield deal brings access to fields in the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma. Moreover, much like its embattled peer Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK), it moves to decrease its dependence on natural gas. Thanks to the assets from Newfield, liquids will now make up more than 50% of the company's total production.ECA also has moved to enhance its financial stability. It has paid down more than half of the debt it had built up from the energy boom in the early part of the decade.Holding $3.7 billion in long-term debt may look heavy compared to its $7.45 billion in stockholders' equity. Still, it compares well to close competitors such as Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) and larger peers such as ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) The Encana RecoverySince hitting lows in 2016, revenues have trended higher every year. The company returned to profitability in 2017. Despite falling back this year, analysts expect profit growth to resume next year. On average, Wall Street forecasts 12.52% earnings growth per year over the next five years for ECA. And this stands despite a forward price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of only 7.6.In some respects, one can understand the low multiple. Encana operates in the volatile upstream oil market. Exploration and production companies depend on higher oil prices to remain profitable. Hence, ECA and its peers will likely take a hit if another oil price slump occurs.Indeed, the oil price slump of late last year took the stock from the $13 per share level to as low as $5 per share by late December. It quickly recovered to the $7 per share level by mid-January. However, ECA has seen little movement since then. OPEC and ECA stockThat could change. Due to the Newfield deal, Encana raised its dividend from 1.5 cents to 1.9 cents per share every quarter. Moreover, ECA shareholders appear positioned to receive a much larger "payout" thanks to OPEC.As oil prices go so goes upstream oil stocks. This becomes even more true for ECA as the production of liquids becomes increasingly important. Members of OPEC and ten non-OPEC countries instituted production cuts in early January. This had led to a substantial turnaround.WTI Crude briefly traded below $43 per barrel in late December. Now with the reductions, prices have rebounded above $60 per barrel. If the market can sustain or exceed that price point on oil, ECA \will probably receive the boost it needs to return to double-digit price levels. Final Thoughts on ECA StockDue to a de facto status as a proxy for oil price, ECA stock should rise along with these prices. The recent purchase of Newfield makes Encana more of an oil than a natural gas company.For this reason, it stands to benefit more from rising oil prices than it had in the past. Now, with the OPEC-led production costs pushing oil prices higher, its drilling activity should lead to more profits.As things stand now, the production cut will only hold until the end of June. Admittedly, if production cuts end and prices fall back, the near-term investment prospects could fall apart. Still, for at least the next three months, investors should like what they see from ECA stock.As of this writing, Will Healy is long CHK stock. You can follow Will on Twitter at @HealyWriting.
