HF Sinclair price target raised to $60 from $52 at Mizuho

Mizuho analyst Nitin Kumar raised the firm’s price target on HF Sinclair (DINO) to $60 from $52 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm adjusted ratings in the integrated oil space after updating its commodity price outlook and valuations. Mizuho still sees a positive skew in gas prices over the next 12 months. Oil stocks are pricing in the current strip while gas stocks offer a 10%-15% discount based on implied commodity prices, the analyst tells investors in a research note. As such, the firm maintains a relative preference for large-cap, gas exploration and production companies with “selective exposure” to core oil names.
