Piper Jaffray analyst Ryan Todd downgraded Hess Corp. to Neutral from Overweight after assuming coverage and raised his price target on shares to $83 from $60. The analyst cited the recent share appreciation as "indicative of a market likely overextending the sustainability of recent near-term tail-winds/head-winds" for Hess and its peers. Todd also sees little possibility of a sustained buyback program or aggressive dividend hike following the current program.
