Hess Corp. price target raised to $160 from $155 at BMO Capital

BMO Capital analyst Phillip Jungwirth raised the firm’s price target on Hess Corp. to $160 from $155 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares as part of a broader research note adjusting BMO’s model on the Energy sector. The firm is revising its estimates for the North American Oil and Gas group, U.S. refiners, and Canadian oilfield services companies, noting that crude prices plunged in September, and BMO expects prices to remain near current levels over the balance of the year, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
