TechnipFMC price target raised to $56 from $47 at TD Cowen

TD Cowen raised the firm’s price target on TechnipFMC (FTI) to $56 from $47 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm adjusted targets in the oilfield services group as part of a Q4 preview. Many oilfield stocks have responded positively to the capture of Nicolas Maduro, anticipating increased oilfield investment in Venezuela, the analyst tells investors in a research note. However, TD thinks it will take a long time and require a lot of guarantees from the U.S. government for U.S. companies to commit capital. It says the stock rallies on the news may be overdone. However, many names in the group remain “cheap,” the firm adds.
