Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on DryShips (NASDAQ: DRYS) price target of $4.50.

A few days ago, analyst, Brandon R. Oglenski, cut FY12 EPS estimate from $0.32 to $0.10. However, today, Oglenski, cut FY12 EPS estimate again, from $0.10 to -0.02. Although, for FY13, he raised estimates from $0.40 to $0.50.

Oglenski felt the need to cut estimates again after saying DRYS reported a soft Q1 against low expectations. Liquidity is improving, but overall challenges in dry bulk remain.
