Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS) price target of $65.00.

Barclays analyst says, "Preliminary 2012 EBITDA guidance implies modest distribution growth improvement, in line with our view. While NS posted a 3Q beat, full-year '11 EBITDA guidance remains unchanged. '12 EBITDA guidance supports our estimate of 3% distribution growth, gradual improvement from 1.9% growth in '11. We are fine tuning our price target from $66 to $65 to reflect slight yield expansion due to asphalt weakness. Our $65 price target is based on 12-month distribution run rate of $4.55 (previously $4.48 as we expect a bump in 3Q12) and 7% target yield (previously 6.8%)."
