UBS maintains a 'Buy' on The Shaw Group (NYSE: SHAW), lowers PT from $45 to $37.

UBS analyst says, "Very tough FQ3; FY12 still implies significant growth, but disappoints - The nuclear COL timing and troubled E&C project are weighing on FY12. While Shaw announced another buyback, it would use roughly half the current cash balance. While disappointing, FY12 guidance (if achieved) does reflect EPS growth, and a number of things could go right next year, and some issues could just be a matter of timing. However, until there is clarity on the troubled E&C project and nuclear approval, we expect investors to keep Shaw in the penalty box." (UBS lowers FY11 EPS estimate from $1.75 to $0.06 and FY12 from $2.90 to $2.30)
