Barclays Maintains an 'Overweight' on Oil States International (OIS) Raising Numbers on Impressive Start to '12

Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Oil States International (NYSE: OIS) price target raised from $115 to $119.

Analyst, Anthony Walker, said, "We believe OIS is a high-quality mid-cap company and offers a distinct way to gain exposure to the Canadian market, the Australian accommodations business and the global acceleration in offshore equipment demand."

Walker noted that Q1 EPS of $2.20 (vs. Barclays estimate of $1.83) proves the company is off to a strong (2012) start. Walker also boosts FY12 EPS estimates from $7.75 to $8.35 and FY13 from $8.85 to $9.25.
