Synergy's quarterly production numbers have come in a little soft relative to expectations, but the company's drilling results have offset this with solid IP rates and good well cost controls. The shares do not look cheap on the basis of peer-level EBITDA multiples, but I would argue that Synergy's triple-digit oil growth deserves a premium and the company's core Wattenberg drilling inventory supports a mid-teens fair value.
