Wells Fargo maintains an 'Outperform' on DryShips (NASDAQ: DRYS).

Analyst Michael Webber, said, "...We expect shares to trade off this morning given the miss however, given a more normalized offshore earnings ramp in Q2Q3 (less offhire and mobilization), a firm offshore market, diminishing exposure to the softer dry bulk and tanker markets, and DRYS's significant discount to our NAV estimate of $4.45/share, and we believe today's weakness may provide a solid buying opportunity. While macroheadwinds may keep complete value recognition (i.e., NAV parity) off the table over the near term, we believe DRYS's current discount (49%) is toward the bottom end of its historical range, with even a reversion to the 2012 average (34%) presenting a trading opportunity."
