Barclays maintains an 'Underweight' on Omnicare (NYSE: OCR), PT $32.

Barclays analyst says, "We are making some modest adjustments to our estimates for OCR following their March quarter results. We are lowering our 2011 EPS estimate to $2.09 (down from $2.10) and lowering 2012 to $2.35 (down from $2.38). In addition, we are lowering our estimate for 2Q11 to $0.45 and note that the company's earnings are expected to be back-end loaded in 2011."

"We continue to believe the Omnicare story is more about 2012, with the market paying little attention to the lack of growth in 2011..."
