Canaccord Genuity upgraded EQT Corp. (NYSE: EQT) from Sell to Hold, price target raised from $45 to $50.

Analyst, John Gerdes, said, "EQT peaked at almost $70 in late October before swooning to current levels near $50. We remain skeptical of the idea that EQT can garner a materially higher valuation for its midstream assets in an MLP, though EQT’s takeout premium appears to have largely dissipated...We are raising our target price to $50 due to a higher gas price realization, a greater liquids composition and refinements to midstream margins. Due to valuation, we are upgrading shares."
