UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Chicago Bridge & Iron (NYSE: CBI) price target lowered from $52 to $51.

Analyst, Steven Fisher, said, "Q1 EPS missed consensus, hurt by lower than expected Steel Plate revenue (slower Gorgon ramp up) and Lummus Tech income (back-end loaded) plus higher SG&A (stock comp expense). Still, margins in both Steel Plate and Project E&C were better than expected. Revs of $1.20b were below the Street of $1.27 bln, but are expected to ramp going forward."

"While CB&I missed consensus, the quarter was uneventful, execution remains solid, and the breadth of CBI’s opportunity set in LNG, chemicals, upstream and refining, continues to become clearer." (UBS cuts FY12/13 EPS estimate by $0.05 each to $3.00/$3.40, respectively)
