Dahlman Rose upgraded shares of Atwood Oceanics (NYSE: ATW) from its previous rating of Hold to Buy. The firm also set its price target on the company at $58.
The firm notes its proprietary floating rig supply & demand model indicates floating rig marketed contracted utilization may reach 99% in 2013, which entail would drive dayrates to over $600K/day, as they did in 2008 when utilization was over 98%.
An analyst at Dahlman comments, "ATW's heavy deepwater exposure should be positive for the company as deepwater rates trend higher. We believe the company can grow its EBITDA over 50% from the ‘12 levels of roughly $400MM once its new build program is complete in ‘14."
