The positives clearly outweigh the negatives for E&P stocks such as EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC) and Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL), J.P. Morgan's Joseph Allman says of his three preferred stocks in the sector.
- Allman is "slightly bullish" on the group because of an improving oil market improving, low oil prices with futures in contango, declining service costs, improved wells with new completion designs, and room for improved sentiment as investors remain tentative.
- The best companies - with high quality assets that give investors the most leverage to the best parts of the best plays, plus strong balance sheets and operating and/or financial catalysts - can still perform very well in this market, Allman writes.
