Neal Dingmann, a top 1% analyst from Truist Securities maintains MUR with a strong buy rating and raises their MUR price target from $58.00 to $59.00, on Apr 5, 2024.
Truist Securities's Neal Dingmann raised their price target on Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR) by 1.7% from $58 to $59 on 2024/04/05. The analyst maintained their Strong Buy rating on the stock.
The analyst made their price target move after taking a deep dive into names in their Energy (Oil & Gas Exploration & Production) portfolio.
With the combination of a solid 2024 commodity landscape, potentially lower oilfield equipment and services pricing, continued routine operations for most names in the space, and the maintenance of material shareholder returns, there is no reason not to give the space a "Strong Buy" rating, Dingmann said.
The analyst told readers that Truist Securities expects "the sector's current underweight positioning to change," stating that recent discussions indicate only the "Long Onlys" remain underweight on the energy sector compared to the firm's benchmark.
