How do you make an oil production & exploration company pop? Propose it can double in the next year and highlight it as a possible takeover target to boot.
REUTERSThat’s what happened today to Penn Virginia (PVA), which has popped 9.7% to $10 after SunTrust Robinson Humphrey said it was a “top takeover target this year.” Oh, they also named it as a top pick, praised its “operational excellence,” and cited numerous catalysts.
Analyst Neal Dingmann and Ryan Oatman explain:
Penn Virginia is not only likely to see materially higher production growth from its six rigs drilling continuously improving wells, but the company should see over 25% cash flow growth from drilling production combined with drilling/completion efficiencies. The company should be able to fund the growth not only from cash flow but through asset sales such as the recently announced $100 million sale of its Eagle Ford gas gathering system. Channel checks not only signal continued improving well results, but also numerous drilling efficiencies that should considerably boost production and lower well costs / capital expenditures.

Diller then spins off some of these entities into public companies, as he did with Home Shopping Network (HSNI) and timeshare company Interval Leisure Group (IILG). The company�� 52 week high was $80.64, it trades right now at $66. I�� love to make this one of my stocks to buy in the below the $50 mark, but IACI would be a bargain under $55.

It sold off its minority stake in one major venture in the Canadian oil sands to partner Suncor Energy (NYSE: SU ) in May, taking a $1.65 billion charge but saving $5 billion in prospective costs. Suncor also abandoned the Voyageur project, validating Total's decision.

52-Week Range: $4.06-$6.80
Tuesday's Volume: 263,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 140,032From a technical perspective, IVAC soared higher here right off some near-term support at $6.25 with above-average volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last three months, with shares moving higher from its low of $4.31 to its recent high of $6.80. During that move, shares of IVAC have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of IVAC within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if IVAC manages to take out its 52-week high at $6.80 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IVAC as long as it's trending above some near-term support levels at $6.25 or at $5.92 and then once it sustains a move or close above its 52-week high at $6.80 with volume that hits near or above 140,032 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then IVAC will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are its next major overhead resistance levels at $8 to $8.37. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $9 to $9.36 within range for shares of IVAC.
