Goldman Sachs upgraded Basic Energy Services (NYSE: BAS) from Sell to Conviction Buy with a price target of $15.00 (from $11.00), suggesting 60 percent upside.

"BAS offers the most leverage to our thesis that the tide is turning in NAM land, driven by the conclusion of the gas-to-oil equipment migration, a bottoming of the US rig count,
and subsequent stabilization of oil/gas prices," the analyst comments.

Also, they view the capitulation by consensus and company management on forward expectations as a buy signal, the firm said.
