UPDATE: Tesoro Up 9%, Hits 52-Week High on Plans to Buy BP's Southern California Refineries

By Midnight Trader,  August 13, 2012, 02:51:21 PM EDT

Tesoro Corp. ( TSO ) shares are up 9.7% at $38.94 and touched a 52-week high of $39.23 following a company announcement that it would buy BP's Southern California refining and marketing business.

The sale price is $1.18 billion plus the value of inventory at the time of closing; inventory is currently valued at $1.3 billion.

Bloomberg News called it a "below average" price for the facilities, and said it gives Tesoro control of 23% of all refinery capacity in California, which has air-pollution regulations that are more stringent than most states.
