MY TAKE: On my forecast/valuation model for Cimarex, I have added column T that shows what the company should look like in 2019 after the merger with Energen closes. Note that post-merger, Cimarex's production mix should be approximately 39% natural gas, 34% crude oil and 27% NGLs. First Call's price target for XEC is $125/share.
