Golar LNG Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLNG) was given a serious upside call of about 35% from Merrill Lynch this past week. This was also after huge gains were already seen when Golar signed an agreement with Ophir Energy for Golar's GoFLNG vessel Gimi, its second floating natural gas production facility. Merrill Lynch already had a Buy rating for Golar LNG, but it raised its price objective to $60 from $40. The $46.08 close on Friday left implied upside of 35%, including the distribution. Golar LNG also has a consensus target of almost $55.
