Wednesday, May 22, 12:26 PM WPX Energy (WPX +4.1%) shares post their third straight strong gain, rising 14% so far this week from news that hedge fund Taconic Capital took a position in the company and said it was engaged with management to boost shareholder value. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]
Monday, May 20, 11:22 AM Shares of WPX Energy (WPX +6.8%) surge after hedge fund Taconic Capital discloses a 6.39% stake in the company and says it "may engage in communications with relevant parties [on] ways to enhance shareholder value." WPX has been strong in recent weeks after being cleared by Pennsylvania regulators, which said it was not responsible for water contamination in the state. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 14, 3:38 PM WPX Energy (WPX +2.7%) shares hit a 52-week high before pulling back, extending gains begun after Pennsylvania regulators said their 16-month investigation showed that high levels of methane and other contaminants in area water wells weren't caused by WPX's drilling. Shares have risen steadily in the weeks since the ruling became public, gaining ~13%. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, May 14, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: PDII +33%. ECTY +20%. NSPH +18%. SNE +9%. WPX +8%. TTWO +6%. TSLA +6%. RENN +5%.
Losers: TRMD -15%. MOSY -13%. PT -11%. VELT -10%. SCTY -10%. TSL -6%. NBG -6%. 2 Comments [On the Move]
Thursday, May 2, 7:15 AM WPX Energy (WPX): Q1 EPS of -$0.25 misses by $0.02. Revenue of $631M misses by $100.08M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Monday, April 8, 8:55 AM WPX Energy (WPX) says its Niobrara Shale discovery well in the Piceance Basin exceeded 1B cubic feet of natural gas production in just over 100 days of operation, a pace WPX says would exceed production from a typical well in the Piceance's Williams Fork formation during an entire estimated life cycle of 25-30 years. Comment! [Energy]
Thursday, March 21, 4:23 PM The outlook for MLPs is rosy, according to Elvira Scotto, a director at RBC. In a report on the sector published by The Wall Street Transcript, Scotto says that thanks to low interest rates, MLPs have ready access to capital and can thus easily fund growth. This is good news for yield-starved investors as MLPs offer handsome payouts. Previously: MLPs will outperform even if rates rise. 8 Comments [Energy]
Thursday, March 21, 2:39 PM With natural gas prices up 12% in March, some NGL plays have been left behind, Cowen's Nicholas Pope writes. He favors SM Energy (SM +0.3%), which trades at only 3.9x his 2014 estimate for EBITDA and has rallied a mere 2% this month. Range Resources (RRC +0.8%) is another NGL name but it also has significant dry gas exposure; dry-gas exposed names have rallied 17% this month. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, March 14, 12:49 PM Rising natural gas prices and lower inventories boost shares of gas-focused firms, including WPX Energy (WPX +5.2%), the S&P's top performer. But Susquehanna warns of unwarranted optimism in WPX, seeing "weak execution going forward reflecting a lower than peer average capacity to reinvest and lack of visible scale of reinvention target." Also: CHK +2.8%, NBL +3.2%, COG +2.6%, LNG +5%, KWK +17.6%. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Thursday, February 28, 7:13 AM WPX Energy (WPX): Q4 EPS of -$0.20 misses by $0.11. Revenue of $827M beats by $125.47M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Thursday, February 28, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: AIXG, AWR, BDBD, BKS, BRLI, BRY, CHS, CTRX, CVC, DANG, DPZ, GMXR, GTLS, HK, IRDM, IRM, ISIS, KSS, LKQ, MCGC, MTG, NIHD, OCN, PKT, RDC, RNO, SDRL, SHLD, TD, TTI, VRX, WNR, WPX, WWE Comment! [Earnings]
Wednesday, February 27, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: AIXG, AWR, BDBD, BKS, BRLI, BRY, CHS, CTRX, CVC, DANG, DPZ, GMXR, GTLS, HK, IRDM, IRM, ISIS, KSS, LKQ, MCGC, MTG, NIHD, OCN, PKT, RDC, RNO, SDRL, SHLD, TD, TTI, VRX, WNR, WPX, WWE Comment! [Earnings]
Wednesday, February 20, 11:25 AM WPX Energy (WPX -1.6%) is well positioned to lift profit margins by cutting costs, according to a Barron's analysis. WPX has been burdened by unfavorable midstream contracts from when it was a part of Williams Cos., which make its costs high, but costs will decline and shares should benefit as management works to renegotiate and restructure its contracts. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
Tuesday, January 22, 5:51 PM WPX Energy (WPX) says a discovery in Colorado's Niobrara shale has the potential to "significantly increase" the company's natural gas reserves and daily production in the coming years. Over the past 30 days, the discovery well produced at an average rate of 12M cu. ft./day. WPX +1.2% AH. 2 Comments [Energy]
Thursday, November 1, 2012, 10:27 AM WPX Energy (WPX -5.4%) is one of the two biggest decliners in the S&P 500 after reporting a Q3 loss of $0.23/share and revenues fell 11% Y/Y to $545M, both worse than analyst expectations. Tudor Pickering Holt analysts call WPX results "weak," with lower-than-expected liquids production due to delayed well completions in the Bakken fields of North Dakota. Comment! [Energy, Earnings, On the Move]
Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 3:13 PM WPX Energy (WPX +2.8%) is upgraded to Outperform with a $23 target price at Howard Weil, based on favorable implications from the QEP deal. Based on similar Bakken valuations, the firm says WPX is not getting credit for the remainder of its deep portfolio; combined with a strong balance sheet, WPX shares have "significant room" to move higher. Comment! [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
