Investing.com – BofA Securities initiated coverage on Ring Energy, Inc. () with a buy rating and a price target of $2.00, according to a report released Tuesday.
The firm cited underappreciated net asset value due to negative spot price realizations on the company’s natural gas production. Ring Energy is an exploration and production company focused primarily on Permian oil and gas production. Shares have gained approximately 14% year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.
BofA expects the company’s gas realizations and profitability to improve as nearby pipeline takeaway capacity grows over the next 18 months with the completion of several large pipeline projects. The $2 price objective is based on a net asset value valuation model extending to 2050 using Ring’s disclosed inventory of resource locations.
The analyst noted that share price has fallen as the Iran war winds down. Price objective upside is driven by the expected gas inflection.
BofA stated the gas opportunity represents a more important offset to oil headwinds for the company. For deeper insights into Ring Energy’s valuation and growth prospects, investors can access the comprehensive Pro Research Report, available for this and 1,400+ other US equities on InvestingPro.
