The stock is up from $7 in the last two weeks on no news, just anticipation. Today, investors and analysts were not disappointed. In the third quarter, NuVista produced 29,405 barrels a day, higher than analysts' predictions of about 27,000 barrels a day. Now, it is producing 35,000 barrels a day, in line with its fourth quarter guidance of 35,000 to 38,000 barrels a day.
