UPDATE - UBS Downgraded Buckeye Technologies (BKI) to Neutral; Next Span of Earning Growth Could Take Time

UPDATE - UBS downgraded Buckeye Technologies (NYSE: BKI) from Buy to Neutral, price target raised $1 to $36.00.

UBS analyst said, "We believe high-end dissolving pulp prices are at peak. We expect a bit of incremental weak ness in fluff. To drive further earnings growth BKI needs to deliver on Nonwovens profit improvement, the Foley conversion project and/or find attractive investments. These will take time. BKI has flexibility. Net debt is ~$51mm. The sales/closures of Americana, Merfin and Delta should bring in ~$60mm cash to be partially offset by $13mm net drag from fuel tax credits."

"Given recent strong share performance and expected slower earnings growth, we are downgrading BKI to Neutral."
