Tenaris upgraded at Morgan Stanley on improving OCTG industry fundamentals
Morgan Stanley upgraded Tenaris (TS) to Equal Weight from Underweight, raising its price target to $65 from $53. The upgrade cites improving OCTG industry fundamentals, driven by declining imports and rising demand that are tightening inventories and supporting ~10% YTD pricing gains. Analysts expect 2027-28 EBITDA estimates to exceed consensus due to better pricing and Middle East infrastructure recovery. Additionally, Tenaris' strong $3B net cash position supports potential dividend growth and a new buyback program.
