UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Buckeye Technologies (NYSE: BKI) price target of $32.00.
UBS analyst says, "BKI earned $0.74 in 1Q FY12. This was ahead of their prior guidance of $0.65-0.68 and UBSe/consensus $0.67. They earned $0.68 in 4Q10 and $0.34 last year. Tax rate was a key contributor of upside. But overall quality was fairly good with Specialty Fibers stronger than expected (more than offsetting weakness in Nonwovens)."
"BKI expects wood specialty prices to rise double-digits in calendar 2012; we believe at least half their contracts are already finalized. This is stronger than we had expected. We are raising our FY 2012 est to $2.95 from $2.80 with higher wood specialty prices partially offset by a more conservative fluff pulp outlook. Our new 2Q est is $0.65 (guidance is $0.64-0.67)."
