Targa Resources Corp. stock climbed 7.13% to $297.77 in morning trading on Monday, driven by a new 20-year, fee-based midstream agreement with Exxon Mobil and a raised price target from Jefferies.

What Happened
Targa Resources announced new 20-year integrated midstream agreements with Exxon Mobil in the Permian Basin, which analysts have praised as a significant development for the company.

Jefferies upgraded its price target for Targa Resources to $345 from $324, citing the strategic value of the Exxon deal and the company’s long-term growth potential. The stock’s rally to an all-time high reflects both the immediate market reaction to the news and the broader positive sentiment from analysts.
