Oppenheimer maintains a 'Perform' on Lender Processing Services (NYSE: LPS).
Analyst, Glenn Greene, said, "LPS reported strong 2Q12 results with revenue/EPS exceeding our/Street's estimates and guidance, excluding one-time charge to increase legal/regulatory reserve. 3Q12 revenue guidance is in line with expectations while the EPS range is well above our/Street's prior estimate. Unexpectedly, LPS increased its legal and regulatory reserve by $144M to $203M. Transaction Services (TS) revenue rose 5% Y/Y and beat our expectations by $15M. Perhaps more significant was the uptick in TS margins, up 570bps Y/Y (610 bps > our estimate). Encouragingly, the increased margins appear directionally sustainable going forward, given the in-line 3Q revenue outlook but upside EPS expectations; we await management commentary for further details."
