Chevron Stock Rating Reaffirmed by Bank of America (CVX)
Bank of America reiterated their neutral rating on shares of Chevron (NYSE: CVX) in a research report sent to investors on Wednesday morning. The firm currently has a $130.00 price target on the stock, up from their previous price target of $125.00.
“There are two key takeaways from this years analyst update. CVX has a deep bench of assets. While current developments provide visibility thru 2017, the slate of projects likely to be sanctioned in coming years is growing to the point where the long term production outlook is falling into place. But the message from management is that spending levels will also move higher. While no precise metrics were provided, management confirmed 2014 / 15 spending will be above the ~$37bn planned for 2013. Put simply there is no short term let up in rising capital intensity. In our view this remains an overhang for the investment case.,” the firm’s analyst wrote.
