Yahoo Finance Tenaris S.A. (TS) Stock Jumps 5.5%: Will It Continue to Soar?
Tenaris S.A. (TS) shares rallied 5.5% in the last trading session to close at $23.59. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 36.3% gain over the past four weeks.
Tenaris saw the third consecutive day of price increase after the price target on the firm was raised by Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro. Before that, Exane BNP Paribas analyst Nick Konstantakis upgraded the company from Underperform to Neutral, which also aided the stock’s rally. Increased optimism over an accelerated recovery of the overall energy sector following the massive improvement in oil prices is further driving the stock. This is because there has been an increase in demand for casing and tubing products of Tenaris for use in oil drilling activities.
