Global Hunter Securities downgraded Nabors (NYSE: NBR) from Accumulate to Neutral with a price target of $16.00 (from $17.00).

The firm comments, "Activity across most business lines is tracking below our prior forecast and is unlikely to meet such expectations in the out quarters given the current fundamental headwinds impacting its product lines and geomarkets. Additionally, we do not foresee much in terms of M&A or external factors to move the stock higher by year end. Lacking identifiable catalysts and with consensus estimates likely too high (~18% vs. our 2013 EPS estimate), much like its peer group, we are headed for the sidelines."
