Article Stock Quotes (2) Comments (0)

Jefferies downgraded CNOOC Ltd. (NYSE: CEO) from Hold to Underperform. PT lowered from HK$13.50 to HK$12.75.

Analyst, Laban Yu, said, "We believe CNOOC's acquisition of Nexen (NYSE: NXY) demonstrates: 1) the premium that China is willing (perhaps forced) to pay to insure energy security; 2) how CNOOC actually intends to hit its 6-10% 5 year CAGR growth; and 3) the state of depletion of CNOOC's domestic assets. We have lowered our target price 5.6% and downgrade our rating."
