Equal Weight
Hess Corp. downgraded to Equal Weight on valuation at Stephens
As previously reported, Stephens analyst Gail Nicholson downgraded Hess Corp. (HES) to Equal Weight from Overweight on valuation after the stock has outperformed the SPDR Oil Exploration and Production Fund (XOP) by over 12% year-to-date. The stock's EV/EBITDA multiple is currently highest in her coverage and significantly above the group median, noted Nicholson, who lowered her price target on Hess shares to $69 from $77 to account for her revised commodity forecast.
