UBS upgraded PBF Energy (PBF) to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $26, up from $20. The firm cites “strong improvement” in refining fundamentals for the upgrade. Surplus heavy barrels drive wider heavy light spreads and lower crude prices drive higher demand for refined products, the analyst tells investors in a research note. UBS believes that as long as the U.S. can avoid a recession, demand will “surprise to the upside.”
