YPF upgraded to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan

JPMorgan analyst Rodolfo Angele upgraded YPF (YPF) to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $59.50, up from $25. JPMorgan is constructive on Argentina’s oil and gas industry and, despite the rally, still sees upside potential in the region. Under the new government, significant changes like oil deregulation, fuel price alignment with international parity, and incentives have transformed the sector, the analyst tells investors in a research note. It does not think that it is too late to invest in the group. The upgrade of YPF reflects expectations of further growth, aligned with the more favorable scenario for the industry, contends JPMorgan.
