Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE) price target of $55.00.

Canaccord analyst, Scott Burk, said, "Noble released a fleet status update with a few changes, most notably two new jackup contracts with durations greater than one year. On the negative side, expected offhire days increased slightly and a three-month semi contract in 2012 was at a lower rate than we modeled. We are trimming our 2011/12 EPS estimates slightly and also introducing 2013 estimates. While Noble has an attractive growth profile as its 13 newbuilds should deliver EPS growth over the next three years, we see better growth potential and more attractive fleets for some of its peers (Atwood (NYSE: ATW), Ensco (NYSE: ESV))."
