Analysts have been cutting their estimates. After a bounce late last week, the stock was trading near 12.

Deutsche Bank analyst Rob Rutschow says GFI was able to retain key personnel and noted how CDS trading continues to grow among financial firms, as does GFI's non-CDS revenue. His price target on the stock: 22.

CNX
Cons Energy Inc - $46.00
- -3.26%
- $47.14
"Energy stocks that have gone up the most during the current oil rally will probably get hit the hardest," Bespoke analysts note.
