Tenaris +5% on bullish outlook for global oil tubes market
Tenaris (TS +5.6%) jumps after lifting its 2017 demand estimate for global tubular goods used in oil and gas production to 12.1M metric tons from a previous forecast of 10.4M tons and 2016 demand of 8.8M tons.
TS sees demand this year in the U.S. and Canada reaching 5.2M metric tons, up from 2.2M last year, demand from China and Russia rising to 3.7M tons from 3.5M a year ago, and demand in other areas remaining stable.
The new guidance could result in a double-digit upgrade to analyst earnings estimates for TS, a trader tells Reuters.
