UPDATE: Morgan Stanley Reiterates on Carbo Ceramics on Key Way to Play Conductivity Theme in 2014 and Beyond

In a report published Wednesday, Morgan Stanley analyst Ole Slorer reiterated an Equal-Weight rating on Carbo Ceramics CRR, and raised the price target from $73.00 to $123.00. In the report, Morgan Stanley noted, “As a provider of consumable proppants, CRR benefits in our view from the ongoing bifurcation in footage drilled relative to rig count growth. Additionally, we expect US onshore E&Ps to increase their focus on optimizing well results, and we see CRR's ceramic proppants benefitting.” Carbo Ceramics closed on Tuesday at $111.62.
