** RBC Capital Markets lowers price targets on U.S.-based oil and gas companies amid commodity price volatility

** Says the instability in pricing is the main focus for some investors who see a potential in buying undervalued energy stocks, while others are waiting for more clarity

** Sees more companies focusing on free cash flow (FCF) returns in the form of stock buybacks given reduced equity valuations and general investor preference as compared to variable dividends
