what happened
Analysts at UBS raised their price target on oil producer Murphy Oil (MUR) to $40 a share from $38 and kept a neutral rating. Mizuho also increased its target, to $44 from $41, and left its rating at neutral.
Benzinga reported the changes. Its data shows the UBS action at 15:45 GMT and the Mizuho action at 16:08 GMT.
why it matters
Two major banks raised their price targets on the same day, which points to a more favorable analyst view of the stock. Neutral ratings, however, do not signal a clear buy or sell call, so the shares will likely track oil prices and the company's upcoming results.
