What the analyst argued

BMO's note reacted to a second-quarter beat: production of 117,799 boe/d was 6% above estimate and cash flow per share of $1.32 beat by 14 cents, prompting Crescent Point to raise full-year guidance and suspend its premium DRIP, which would improve per-share growth. The analysts kept Outperform and a $48 target based on 10.5x 2013E debt-adjusted cash flow, supported by a $49.91 per share net asset value derived from a 10% discounted cash flow of reserves. They highlighted 40 consecutive quarters of maintained or raised dividends as evidence of the model's durability.

Lead analysts: Gordon Tait, Paul Surmanowicz.
