Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Global Partners, L.P. (NYSE: GLP), PT $27.

Barclays analyst says, "GLP continues to diversify its product mix towards transportation fuels, but near-term market environment is narrowing margins. While we believe GLP's long-term growth prospects are improving due to acquisitions made in 2010, near-term unfavorable market conditions and higher working capital will restrain distribution growth a little."

"We are fine-tuning our 2011 distribution growth estimate from 3.3% to 2.3% to reflect unfavorable near-term margin conditions. Our 2012 distribution growth estimate remains unchanged at 2.8%, as we continue to expect contributions from the $248MM of acquisitions closed since June 2010 to support cash flow growth."
