Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS) price target of $66.00.

Barclays analyst says, "Storage and transportation segment growth should more than offset asphalt weakness in 2012, in our view. At the NS analyst day on 9/21 in New Orleans, the key takeaway was that 2012 distribution growth should improve modestly from 2011 level of 1.9% (we forecast 3.0% in 2012) due to 2011 organic growth capex in storage, transportation and acquisitions more than offsetting likely flat/lower asphalt results, in our view. We are trimming our 3Q/2011 EBITDA estimates from $116/$488mm to $110/$476mm to reflect lower expected asphalt results. Our 2011 distribution estimate remains unchanged at $4.36 per unit, as we model in slightly lower coverage of 1.01x."
