Barclays reiterates an 'Overweight' on Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO) price target of $37.00.

Analyst, Paul Y. Cheng, said, "TSO announced that the company has the permit to deliver up 50 mb/d of Bakken crude to its Anacortes Rail Facility, compared to 30 mb/d initially. While management did not give a firm timeline on the updated project, we estimate the unit train will start at 30 mb/d in September 2012 and ramp toward 50 mb/d by the beginning of 2013 in light of the earlier start-up of the original 30 mb/d project by approximately 3 months (announced on 1Q12 earnings)."

Cheng thinks shares are attractively valued, citing cheap valuation and strong free cash flow (through 2016), and book value lower than peers.
