Article Stock Quotes (1) Comments (0)

Jefferies maintains a 'Hold' on Globe Specialty Metals (NASDAQ: GSM) price target of $13.75 (from $14.50).

Analyst, Luke Folta, said, "F4Q12 GAAP EPS of $0.12 was below our $0.16 forecast primarily due to one-time charges, which elevated SG&A despite strong volume and revenue growth. We are lowering our CY2013 EPS estimate (-$0.19) and price target as Si metal prices to date are below forecast and we believe there is increased probability that contract prices will be lower YoY."
