UBS (NYSE:UBS) heavily cut their price target for Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC), dropping it from $68 to $86, although they maintained their "Buy" rating on the company in spite of that.
A UBS analyst said, "Since the tragic explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20, APC shares have lagged its large cap E&P peer group by 31%, inferring an $11.2 billion net liability for cleanup and legal costs associated with the Macondo oil spill."
UBS noted that the stock was trading at a 40 percent discount to their NAV estimate for proven reserves.
Anadarko has a 25 percent exposure to the Deepwater Horizon oil well, owning 25 percent of the rig itself.
It seems the liability is starting to be understood, and in a worst case scenario the stock NAV would be $68 a share.
