ONEOK, Inc. is upgraded to buy following the Brazos Midstream Permian Basin acquisition and strong Q3 results.

The company raised its financial guidance for the third time this year, citing stronger base-business performance, the contribution from its Brazos Midstream acquisition and transaction-related benefits.
