Comment! [Energy]
Friday, March 15, 6:10 AM Abraxas Petroleum (AXAS): Q4 EPS of -$0.03 misses by $0.02. Revenue of $19.1M beats by $0.8M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Energy]
Monday, January 28, 4:47 PM Abraxas Petroleum (AXAS) +1% AH after issuing an operational and financial update, which notes the Mustang 1H well produced an average 1,152 boe/day on a restricted choke over its first 30 days of production.

[Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, November 27, 2012, 3:27 PM The Clinton Group sends a letter to Abraxas Petroleum (AXAS +9.6%) requesting asset sales, debt reduction, production increases and more disclosures to stockholders on operating activities.

Comment! [Energy]
Monday, September 24, 2012, 12:24 PM Abraxas Petroleum (AXAS -3.8%) says it is encouraged with its latest well results as they "validate our aggressive capital program" to develop new oil reserves and production. The Spires well in west Texas is "a step out" from previous production and indicates the potential for a sizable area of higher pressure reservoir. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Thursday, August 9, 2012, 9:47 AM Abraxas (AXAS): Q2 EPS of $0.02 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $15.9M (-4.2% Y/Y) misses by $4M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Energy]

Friday, March 16, 2012, 3:18 PM Abraxas Petroleum (AXAS -10.2%) is downgraded to Neutral from Buy at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, which notes production delays and reduced natural gas production that led to Q4 results missing guidance as well as financing concerns for the company.
