Goldman Sachs lowered its price target and estimates on DryShips (NASDAQ: DRYS) following results, but is keeping their Buy rating.
The firm cut 2011E/2012E/2013E EPS to $0.56/$0.82/$0.69 from $0.89/$0.86/$0.73. The price target goes from $6.00 to $5.50.
Goldman said the Q2 miss does not reflect the earnings power of the company. They said the results "mostly reflect timing issues as 3 of the 4 new drillships started new contracts in 2Q and did not recognize revenue during mobilization."
They said they expect listing of Ocean Rig shares in September on NASDAQ will unlock value.
