Goldman Sachs upgraded Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $39.00 (from $35.00).
"We believe improved execution and progress in the Eagle Ford and Bakken shale plays favorably differentiates Marathon from other domestic oil companies," the analyst said. "Capital intensity metrics (i.e., CAPEX/production) are expected to fall further in 2013 to below average levels versus North America oil peers, while we think Marathon is on-track to deliver a competitive mid-single digit annual E&P volume growth rate over the medium term."
