UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) price target lowered from $40 to $38.

Analyst, William A. Featherson, said, "Clean 1Q EPS/CFPS of $0.67/$1.48 missed UBSe $0.74/$1.85 & consensus’ $0.87/$1.91 on higher int’l E&P taxes (-$0.08/sh vs. UBSe)...We believe MRO’s ‘12 production guidance is conservative given the 1Q beat, Eagle Ford ramp up & PSVM start-up & forecast production (ex. Libya)of 378 MBoed. We revised ’12-’13 EPS/CFPS to $2.95/$7.60 & $2.90/$8.55 from $3.05/$7.90 & $2.65/$8.45 to reflect Libya volume, wider oil difference & a higher international tax rate."
