UBS Upgrades EOG Resources (EOG) to Buy; Recent Pullback Offers Discount to High Quality

UBS upgraded EOG Resources (NYSE: EOG) from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $120.00 (from $115.00).

Analyst, William A. Featherston, said, "Since 3/1, E&P stocks have declined 26% while oil prices have fallen 23%. While cognizant of the risks (Euro debt concerns, Saudi over producing, high inventories, slowing China growth), global demand growth is up vs 2Q-4Q11and Brent is now below the targeted Saudi price ($100-105/Bbl), leading us to believe we are nearing a bottom. As such, we believe it is an opportune time to add to oil weighted E&Ps (currently discounting $70/Bbl), and are upgrading EOG to Buy."
