-- 在加拿大西部天然氣生產商Tourmaline Oil (TOU.TO)週三公佈第一季業績後，加拿大帝國商業銀行資本市場(CIBC Capital Markets)重申了對該公司股票的「跑贏大盤」評級，並將目標股價從67.50加元上調至70.00加元。 CIBC表示，Tourmaline的業績喜憂參半。其日產量為66.6萬桶油當量，與CIBC的預期及市場普遍預期相符。 該公司每股現金流為2.21加元，比市場普遍預期的2.27加元低3%，比CIBC的預期2.36加元低6%。 CIBC表示：“儘管短期天然氣價格仍構成不利因素，但我們認為該公司採取的舉措將有助於提升未來的盈利能力，從而推動自由現金流的增長。”
