JPMorgan analyst Arun Jayaram raised his price target for Anadarko Petroleum (APC) to $70 citing accretion from the deepwater property acquisition and uplift from higher planned reinvestment into its U.S. onshore franchise assets. Acquiring Freeport McMoRan's (FCX) deepwater assets in the Gulf of Mexico is contrarian with a strong strategic fit, Jayaram tells investors in a research note. The analyst keeps an Overweight rating on Anadarko.
