UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Hess Corp. (NYSE: HES) price target lowered from $71 to $68.

UBS analyst says, "With consensus expectations of 8% growth, 2012 production growth guidance of flat-to-up 5% was a big disappointment. When combined with higher than expected E&P costs, we’ve reduced our 2012-13 EPS/CFPS to $7.08/$17.23 and $5.87/$16.92 from $7.32/$17.87 and $5.86/$17.13, respectively."
