Sable Offshore Corp. stock rose 5% in overnight trading after Jefferies maintained its Buy rating and $19.00 price target on Sable Offshore stock following recent regulatory developments and legal challenges for the company’s pipeline project.
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued an Emergency Special Permit approving Sable’s pipeline on December 23, marking a significant regulatory milestone for the company.
This approval was quickly followed by a lawsuit filed by non-governmental organizations with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, creating new uncertainty for the project’s timeline and implementation.
Legal briefings related to the case are due December 30 and 31, with questions remaining about whether the court proceedings will result in an injunction that could further delay the pipeline.
