As reported earlier, BMO Capital analyst Randy Ollenberger downgraded Encana (ECA) to Market Perform from Outperform and lowered his price target to $12 from $18. The analyst says the company's "solid" Q3 results were "overshadowed" by its proposed $7.7B acquisition of Newfield Exploration (NFX) that produced a "material selloff" in its stock price, reflecting investors concerns over the "asset base and a shift in the underlying investment thesis" of the latter. Ollenberger contends that while the sell-off may be overdone, he expects the stock price to trade range-bound until more visibility over the benefits of the deal emerge.
