Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Weatherford International (NYSE: WFT) price target of $18.00.

Analyst, Scott Burk, said, "WFT missed the quarter and disclosed continued problems with tax reporting. We feel a healthy dose of skepticism while defending our BUY thesis given the frequent administration problems; however, today's 15% underperformance prices in a lot of that ongoing execution risk."

"Guidance reduces expectations. Q1/12 guidance of $0.30/sh is disappointing compared to consensus/us at $0.34/$0.39. Our new lower 2013 estimate EPS estimate of $1.80 supports our $18/sh target price based on 10x 2013E EPS."
