Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Patterson-UTI Energy (NASDAQ: PTEN) price target of $21.00 (from $24.00).
Analyst, John Tasdemir, said, "PTEN reported adjusted EPS of $0.49, ahead of CG/Street at $0.46/$0.43. We attribute the beat to an unexpected 7% QoQ increase in margins within PTEN’s pressure pumping division. However, we expect weakness in demand/pricing across the N. American land drilling and pressure pumping markets relative to our previous forecast and have consequently trimmed our 2012/13E EPS from $2.00/$2.00 to $1.75/$1.75."
