Goldman Sachs upgraded BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) from Neutral to Buy and added the stock to its Conviction Buy list.
The firm said the stock offers unique exposure to oil, the most dependable
growth, and is a GS SUSTAIN winner with peer-leading CROCI returns.
Specifically on oil, the firm said we are in the tightest physical market since the end of 2007/beginning of 2008. Weak supply, solid demand, large draws in inventories and limited spare capacity could see oil prices moving to a "demand-rationing level."
Goldman raised their price target to 3100p from 3050p.
