Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Atwood Oceanics (NYSE: ATW) price target of $55.00.

Canaccord analyst, Scott Burk, said, "Short--term jackup contract. As previously announced in December, the 350' jackup Atwood Aurora received a five-month contract in West Africa at a rate of $134k/day. This is better than the $117k/day rate we had assumed, leading to the slight increase in our earnings assumptions. This contract represents another positive datapoint indicating continued strong demand for premium jackups."
