Zacks reiterated its neutral rating on shares of Denbury Resources Inc. (DNR). They have a $17.00 price target on the stock. Zacks' analyst wrote, "We reiterate our Neutral recommendation for Denbury Resources. The company's third quarter 2012 earnings were in line with the Consensus. With its unique profile, compelling economics and an unmatched infrastructure, Denbury is nicely positioned to deliver long-term sustainable growth. The Thompson Field transaction adds to Denbury's inventory of tertiary projects and emphasizes synergies with the existing carbon dioxide (CO2) infrastructure. Additional positives for Denbury include a strong financial position, low-risk investments and an active divestment policy. However, we remain cautious due to high cost levels associated with the tertiary oil recovery method and harsh weather conditions that may restrict the activity level."
SunTrust initiated coverage on shares of The Dow Chemical Company (DOW). They issued a reduce rating on the stock and set a $25.00 price target.
Nomura upgraded shares of DaVita Inc. (DVA) from a neutral rating to a buy rating. Nomura now has a $121.00 price target on the stock.
