Global Hunter Securities upgraded Transocean (NYSE: RIG) from Reduce to Neutral, price target lowered from $46 to $43.

Global analyst says, "We are upgrading RIG and revising our price target to $43, applying a 10x multiple to our 2013 EPS estimate ($4.28) following yesterday's fleet status report, the recent 29.9MM share offering and $2.5B in debt placements. Despite the upgrade, our thesis remains unchanged -- we would not put money to work in the name until operational results show sustainable improvement and headline risks associated with the Brazilian and Macondo oil spills abate."
