As previously reported, JPMorgan analyst Noah Parquette upgraded Euronav NV to Overweight ahead of the company's Q4 results, stating that he expects it will be "a focus stock" for investors looking to play the tanker market. He likes Euronav's dividend policy and views the upside/downside risk as compelling following the recent selloff in the stock, Parquette tells investors. He trimmed his price target on Euronav shares to $11 from $12. Parquette downgraded Scorpio Tankers (STNG) to Neutral from Overweight with an unchanged $23 price target ahead of the company's Q4 results, stating that the dilution and leverage incurred over the past 1-2 years limits upside relative to other stocks in the space. Parquette also downgraded TEN, Ltd. to Neutral from Overweight, citing his return expectations relative to the rest of the tanker stocks he covers.
