As previously reported, Morgan Stanley analyst Devin McDermott downgraded Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) to Equal Weight from Overweight after lowering his long-term natural gas price forecast to $2.50 from $2.75 and increasing his price assumptions for ethane in late 2018 and 2019. He also lowered his price target on Cabot shares to $23 from $29. U.S. natural gas should soon enter a new cycle of structural oversupply and stagnating demand, contends McDermott. Given that view, and the fact that oil weighted E&Ps trade at similar multiples to nat gas producers, McDermott remains Underweight on nat gas producers Range Resources (RRC), Gulfport Energy (GPOR) and Southwestern Energy (SWN).
