After Key Energy (KEG) disclosed that it had privately offered to combine with Basic Energy (BAS)in a stock-for-stock transaction and Basic replied publicly that it was not interested in pursuing such a combination, Stephens analyst Tommy Moll said that while he acknowledges the industrial logic of a combination he does not believe one is likely in the near-term given the disparity in current valuations of their shares. Additionally, he lacks confidence the pro-forma company would trade at Key's higher multiple, Moll said. He maintains an Equal Weight rating and $9 price target on Basic Energy shares.
