Yahoo Finance Strength Seen in Oasis Midstream Partners LP (OMP): Can Its 8.5% Jump Turn into More Strength?
Oasis Midstream Partners LP (OMP) shares ended the last trading session 8.5% higher at $22.36. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 1.6% loss over the past four weeks.
Oasis Midstream Partners extended its rally for the fourth straight day, driven by the contribution and simplification agreement with Oasis Petroleum OAS. Per the transaction, which was completed yesterday, Oasis Midstream acquired the Incentive Distribution Rights (IDRs), plus all remaining interests of Oasis Petroleum in two energy infrastructure entities. Oasis Midstream units have also been buoyed by an earlier-than-expected pickup in oil demand on the back of successful deployment of COVID-19 vaccines. The recovery in crude prices to around $60 a barrel has lifted the midstream space and contributed to the strength in the partnership. Further, a robust commodity price environment recently prompted RBC Capital analyst TJ Schultz to raise the price target on Oasis Midstream Partners.
