Friday, June 14, 9:04 AM Laredo Petroleum (LPI) appoints Jay Still as President and COO effective July 8, replacing Jerry Schuyler, who is leaving the company next year. Still completed 18 years at Pioneer Natural Resources, where he recently served as executive vice president of domestic operations. 1 Comment [Energy]
Tuesday, May 21, 8:37 AM Laredo Petroleum (LPI) says it is selling all its Anadarko basin assets and properties to EnerVest (EOSOF.PK) for $438M. During Q1, LPI's Anadarko production was ~4.9B cubic feet of liquids-rich natural gas and ~49.6K barrels of crude oil and condensate; estimated proved reserves were 162B cubic feet of natural gas and 1.5M barrels of crude. Comment! [Energy]
Friday, May 17, 9:48 AM Laredo Petroleum (LPI +4.2%) is started with a Buy rating and $23 target price at Topeka Capital, which thinks the market is undervaluing its Anadarko Basin assets: "The story may require patience to get the balance sheet in shape and asset value to be realized, but we believe this could evolve sooner rather than later." Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Thursday, May 9, 7:49 AM Laredo Petroleum (LPI): Q1 EPS of $0.11 misses by $0.01. Revenue of $163.7M misses by $4.75M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Wednesday, April 17, 12:57 PM Energy stocks (XLE -2.8%) trade well below the broader market as crude oil futures plunge after a surprising drop in U.S. distillate supplies and a smaller drop in crude supplies than API data showed. With the U.S. dollar substantially higher, analyst Tariq Zahir sees crude continuing its downward trend. Refiners: VLO -3.9%, TSO -5.6%, PBF -6.3%, CVI -6.8%. Big losers: LPI -5.4%, HLX -5.9%, PDS -6.5%, PWE -5.8%, KOG -4.4%. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, March 12, 7:19 AM Laredo Petroleum (LPI): Q4 EPS of $0.11 in-line. Revenue of $152.4M (-6.2% Y/Y) misses by $7.2M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Energy]
Monday, December 17, 2012, 2:48 PM Laredo Petroleum (LPI -0.6%) announces a 2013 capital budget of $725M, primarily toward development drilling of its 142K acres in the Permian Basin. Production volumes for 2013 are expected to increase ~15% Y/Y to 12.6M-13.1M boe. Comment! [Energy]
Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 2:39 PM Laredo Petroleum (LPI -4.1%) is downgraded to Market Perform with a $22 price target (from $27) at BMO Capital on concerns over the pace of spending and what it could mean in terms of increased leverage on an already-leveraged balance sheet or a lower planned growth rate, all while still outspending cash flow. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Friday, November 9, 2012, 7:44 AM Laredo Petroleum Holdings (LPI): Q3 EPS of $0.10 misses by $0.03. Revenue of $144.7M (+9% Y/Y) misses by $1.6M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Energy]
Monday, October 8, 2012, 4:31 PM Laredo Petroleum (LPI) announces a secondary public offering of 12.5M common shares by its majority stakeholder, Warburg Pincus, that will receive all proceeds; no shares are being sold by the company or its management. 1 Comment [Energy]
Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 11:21 AM Laredo Petroleum (LPI +4.9%) increases its 2012 production guidance to +35% Y/Y and revises its capital budget to ~$900M. Total production is now expected at 11.2M-11.9M boe, a 35% increase from 2011 and 25% higher than LPI's initial guidance. Projected capex is raised $140M from its previously announced budget. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
