BofA analyst Kalei Akamine raised the firm’s price target on Diamondback Energy (FANG) to $170 from $165 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is updating its price targets on U.S. Oil and Gas stocks under its coverage following Q1 results, the analyst tells investors. BofA sees a bull case for oil starting with summer demand, but notes it is “tenuous at best” due to geopolitics. Additionally, the firm continues to see a cleaner set-up in dry natural gas but notes the upside in this sub-sector has compressed.
