Auriga maintains a 'Buy' on Globe Specialty Metals (NASDAQ: GSM) price target of $20.00.

Analyst, Dan Whalen, said, "While higher than anticipated top-line results, driven by higher shipment volumes, were offset by higher expenses, we viewed the results as essentially in-line with expectations. However, to reflect ongoing headwinds from pricing trends, we are reducing our fiscal F4Q12 EPS estimate to $0.16 from $0.23 and our fiscal 2013 EPS estimate to $1.10 from $1.30. Nonetheless, given the combination of management's active management of its portfolio of assets and improving end market fundamentals, we believe these shares are suitable for value investors with longer-term investment horizons."
