Top of the Street: Aker BP, TotalEnergies and Glencore
BUZZ-Top of the Street: Aker BP, TotalEnergies and Glencore A round-up of notable broker activity this morning from Europe's top-ranked* analysts:
** DNB Carnegie cuts Norwegian oil and gas producer Aker BP AKRBP.OL to "hold" from "buy", as it sees few near-term catalysts and expects Q3 production to slightly disappoint the market
** HSBC upgrades French energy major TotalEnergies TTEF.PA to "buy" from "hold", saying the company's valuation premium to rival Shell SHEL.L has disappeared while buybacks could be raised
** UBS raises British commodities trader Glencore GLEN.L to "buy" from "neutral", saying the stock's risk/reward is now attractive and expecting higher prices to result in a material EBITDA improvement in H2 and next year
