Global Hunter Securities downgraded Helmerich & Payne (NYSE: HP) from Accumulate to Neutral, price target cut from $70 to $65.
Analyst, Brian Uhlmer, said, "We believe that the market is fairly valuing the stock at its current multiple; HP (and the industry as a whole) will be unable to repeat the newbuild awards won in 2012, thus slowing growth; and the tepid macro outlook likely persists until the E&P's economics improve, limiting investor sponsorship for the land drillers."
"Our F2012 and F2013 EPS estimates are now $5.19 (+11c) and $5.95 (-15c), with our EBITDA estimates for both years moving just 1%-2%."
