CLSA has issued a research report announcing an increase in the price target for CNOOC's (HKG: 00883) H-shares by 12.5%, raising it from HK$32 to HK$36. The firm has also increased the target price for the company's A-shares and reaffirmed its "outperform" rating.
The adjustment follows the U.S. Department of Defense's decision to remove CNOOC from its list of Chinese military companies, marking a significant breakthrough. This action lifts the restrictions that have been hindering foreign investment in the stock since 2021.
This development means CNOOC can now re-enter the view of foreign investors. Consequently, the brokerage has revised its target price for the company upwards.
