Williams price target raised to $37 from $35 at Barclays

Barclays analyst Theresa Chen raised the firm’s price target on Williams to $37 from $35 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The analyst says fundamental midstream drivers remain intact “amid substantial global volatility.” The firm sees a constructive long-term outlook for natural gas infrastructure. Near-term, geopolitical unrest on the heels of heightened conflict in the Middle East also underscores the importance of energy security and the need for abundant, affordable sources of energy, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
