SRC Energy (SRCI) is a producer of oil & gas located in Colorado. A little over a year ago, the company made a transformational acquisition which significantly expanded its acreage position and began executing an efficient drilling plan on the acquired acreage block. Although initially punished due to the amount of equity that was offered to finance the acquisition, the stock rebounded with the successful results of its drilling plan. SRCI sharply adjusted its production guidance early in the third quarter, raising its midpoint range for the year up 26% versus prior guidance. In addition, the equity raise has positioned SRCI with a superior balance sheet compared to its peers.
