BofA raised the firm’s price target on Northern Oil and Gas (NOG) to $28 from $27 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company announced its “largest deal ever” in a joint acquisition with Infinity Natural Resources (INR) to purchase Antero Resources’ (AR) Ohio Utica position for $1.2B. A deal multiple “well above” Northern’s historical range is “justified” given the aggressive growth trajectory, midstream asset, and resource growth potential, says the analyst, who views the deal as accretive by $1 per share.
