UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Beazer Homes (NYSE: BZH), PT lowered from $6 to $5.50.

UBS analyst says, "Reflecting the results this Q & our expectations for reduced leverage going forward, we’re lowering our F11E EPS to ($1.55) from ($1.30); F12E goes to ($0.80) from ($0.40). Given these changes, our PT goes to $5.50 off a lower trough BV. Despite this, we believe further significant BV erosion is unlikely given mgmt’s efforts through the downturn; as such, we’re raising our multiple to 1.0x from 0.9x off a higher ROE. We maintain our rating given our belief that BZH’s valuation gap vs. peers will narrow as conditions improve."
