Barron's Picks And Pans: Range Resources, Snap, Xerox And More

"Range Resources: An Unappreciated Energy Play" by Andrew Bary points out that shares of Fort Worth-based Range Resources Corp. (NYSE: RRC) have been pummeled by a warm winter and weak demand for natural gas. See why Barron's believes the stock is positioned to bounce back and why it is one of the best gas plays as well as a rare bargain in a record-high market.

In "Snap's Stock Price Could Be Cut in Half," Andrew Bary takes a look at why Snap Inc (NYSE: SNAP) investors will need to be very patient, after the parent of Snapchat surged 50 percent from an already full IPO valuation. Even assuming strong growth, it is hard to justify more than half the current price, says the article, which looks to Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR) for what to expect following the IPO.
