BMO Capital Markets on Thursday maintained its market-perform rating on the shares of Vermilion Energy (VET.TO, VET) while raising its price target to C$13.00 from an undisclosed prior level following the company's investor day presentations.

"Vermilion has experienced significant share price volatility amid uncertainty around European gas pricing, leverage, A&D activity, and exploration risk. That backdrop may now be shifting. The company's first Investor Day since 2018 outlined a five-year outlook anchored by structural tailwinds and disciplined execution. Management emphasized improved asset economics, strong well performance in core areas, and a focus to achieving its debt target - after which shareholder returns are set to increase meaningfully. Overall, the update should be well-received by the investor community. We increase our target price to $13," analyst Jeremy McCrea wrote.
