Monday, May 20, 2:54 PM Tesoro (TSO +4.6%) seems to be benefiting from several favorable analyst notes today, including Barclays' big target price boost to $120 from $92, which the firm says may prove conservative since its calculations did not include any target synergy benefit.

In Asia, go-to names are PTR and SNP. 1 Comment [Energy, Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
