UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Ocean Power (NASDAQ: OPTT) price target lowered $1 to $10.
UBS analyst says, "OPT reports F2Q2012 loss of ($0.38) per share vs UBSe of ($0.32): F2Q sales of $1.5m declined from $1.9m in fiscal 2Q11 and $1.9m last quarter, primarily due to two projects that are nearing completion. However, the backlog rose to $8.8m, from $7.1m last quarter, primarily because of a $3m grant from the EU for a project in Spain."
"Update on key initiatives - During F2Q, OPT successfully deployed an autonomous PowerBuoy in NJ for the U.S. Navy, and OPT believes the market for these buoys will include maritime security, O&G platforms, fish farming, and desalination. OPT still expects to deploy a PB150 in Oregon (Reedsport) in mid-2012. Mgmt noted continued progress in its relationship with Mitsui in Japan, and it expects “significant developments in 2012” towards a 10MW+ power station. In Australia, the new Carbon Tax law will create a new funding source for renewables that may supplement the A$66m grant previously awarded."
