Analyst recommendations

In June 2017, Morgan Stanley upgraded GasLog (GLOG) to “overweight” from “equal weight.” Now the company has seven “strong buy” recommendations and eight “buy” recommendations. Only one analyst has given it a “hold” rating, and none of them have given it a “sell” or “strong sell” recommendation. Other LNG (liquefied natural gas) (UNG) carrier companies (GMLP)—Teekay LNG Partners (TGP), GasLog (GLOP), and Golar LNG (GLNG)—also don’t have any “sell” or “strong sell” recommendations.
