October 22, 2009 9:00 AM EDT

Jesup & Lamont upgrades Nabors Industries (NYSE: NBR) from Sell to Hold.

Jesup analyst says, "We are upgrading our rating to HOLD based on the company outlook. We are raising our earnings estimates for 2009 to $1.30 per share from $1.20 per share and raising our 2010 estimates to $0.80 from $0.65 per share. Although we have raised our estimates and the company believes the bottom for the domestic market has been seen, we believe investors should look for a pullback n the stock to below $20 per share before considering this investment. We believe the 29x 2010 earnings estimate is a little steep after the recent run-up."
